Hide AdClub coach Mairi Clair, who runs the bootcamp with her partner, Luke Cecil, said: “It went really well. We did the challenge in under three hours and we have raised £1,303 for Mind so far, with more in tins to be counted.
“It was World Mental Health day on Monday so was good timing all in all. One in four people in the UK will experience a mental health issue in any given year. All of us have been affected and we were really pleased to have raised this money towards helping others. We really want to raise awareness that mental health is important, too.
“We had so much support on the day. We are very appreciative of our supporters on the day, everyone who made donations and local business, Luxury Lawns, who sponsored our vests.
“We really enjoyed the challenge and had so much support from passers by. It wasn’t too taxing but we certainly felt it for a few days afterwards.”
