THE PORT of Milford Haven’s team of ‘Muddy Rudders’ have handed over a cheque for over three thousand pounds to the Paul Sartori Foundation.

Earlier this year, the 15-strong team from the Port of Milford Haven took part in Tough Mudder – a 12 mile mud run with 20 military-style obstacles.

The gruelling course, which required huge amounts of strength and determination, featured obstacles which involved plunging into 40 tons of ice, getting electrocuted, climbing 9 foot walls and a 2-mile walk through 500,000 litres of mud.

PR and Communications Manager Anna Malloy took part and said: “I know I can speak for the rest of the team when I say that Tough Mudder was one of the most challenging things any of us have ever done, but hearing from how the funds will make a difference to patients made it all worthwhile.

Port staff are continuing to fundraise for Paul Sartori, with Daniel Devine who works at Milford Marina having just completed Ironman Wales and raised a further £625.

The Paul Sartori Foundation was selected by Port of Milford Haven staff as their Charitable Cause of the Year for 2017.

Since January, employees from all areas within the business have taken part in a variety of activities to help raise money for the charity.

To date £4,391 has been raised by staff, in addition to the £5,000 cash donation from the organisation.
