We're a small group of teenagers, with a bond stronger than ever that's been tested over and over again in the most heartbreaking way. We've took the opportunity to take on the Tough Mudder challenge in honor of our close friend Maddie, who we tragically lost to suicide last September. Her passing left us all shattered, grappling with a pain that seemed unbearable. Drowning in a cycle of pain and suffering. These past few months have been a relentless struggle with our mental health. The only lifeline we've had is each other. Without the support from our friends, many of us wouldn't be here today. We're embarking on this challenge not just to honor Maddie's memory, but also to improve our own mental well-being. This Tough Mudder represents more than just a challenge . It's a statement to our resilience, a symbol of our commitment to a heartbreaking situation , and a way to channel our grief into something positive instead of hate and anger. We all miss you so much. Together, we'll push through the mud, carrying Maddie's spirit with us every step of the way.
