Wilder Coe gets muddy for The Sadie Bristow Foundation

On Saturday 18th May, two Wilder Coe teams completed a Tough Mudder to raise money for our 2024 nominated charity, The Sadie Bristow Foundation.

Established in memory of Sadie Bristow, the organisation is dedicated to raising awareness about allergies and supporting those affected by them. The foundation focuses on educating children, parents, and educators on severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. It also funds vital allergy research and supports the development of better allergy management strategies.

“Allergy is the most common chronic disease in Europe. Up to 20% of patients with allergies struggle daily with the fear of possible asthma attacks, anaphylactic shock, or even death (EAACI, 2016)”

In addition to its work on allergies, the Sadie Bristow Foundation promotes physical activity and sports, particularly tennis, among children. They provide schools with a comprehensive tennis and athletics learning module designed to enhance children’s athletic abilities and sport-specific skills. The programme emphasises the fundamentals of agility, balance, and coordination, aiming to improve well-being and concentration through daily activities. By integrating up to 15 hours of tennis coaching into school curriculums, the foundation helps boost participants’ confidence, participation, and competitiveness. Inspired by “Sadie’s Way,” the programme balances high athletic achievement with understanding and kindness.

A massive congratulations to everyone involved in the Tough Mudder Challenge and helping raise our current total of £974 for charity. Matteo Sabelli, a senior auditor, described the experience as “not as muddy as expected, but definitely tough and a really fun way to raise money for a good cause!”.
