Carl Hayhurst
Carl, or Bear Grylls (as he thought he might like to be), this is for you,
And we hope you enjoy watching, now you are free…
Carl was so young with a full life yet to fulfil and live,
And as such was his unselfish nature that he wanted give…
So, In Carl’s name and to raise money for Wythenshawe and Christies we are completing the WILD MUD RUN,
This, we are sure, is right up Carl’s street; and no doubt would think it such fun!
As Bear Grylls was an inspiration and a bit of a hero to Carl too,
We just knew that in his memory, taking part in the Wild Mud Run was the perfect thing to do…
So, with Bear Grylls in mind, we will crawl on hands and knees,
Just as Bear would do, but with a lot less ease!…
Carl will be with us all in spirit, that’s for sure,
And as such was his sense of humour, he will be laughing as we are crawling through the deep mud-covered floor…
Whilst we are doing this, we will remember his laughter and cheeky smile,
As each of us struggles through each and every muddy mile…
If Carl was with us now he would be putting us through our paces to make sure we survive,
Or cheering and laughing at the finish line, making sure we all arrive!…
We know that his fun-loving spirit will see us through to the finish line,
No doubt covered in bruises and mud and all far from `fine’!…
But we are doing this because of Carl. Our hardworking, fun loving colleague and friend,
Whom we all miss dearly and who stayed strong until the end…
So, no excuses! Dig deep, and donate as much as you can,
In memory of such an unforgettable fun loving, and inspirational young man.
