Mildred competed in her first Tough Mudder competition in May 2019 after her son asked her if she wanted to try to compete in the muddy event.

Her son, husband and other family and friends were there to root her on and support her.

"He is my best supporter," Mildred said referencing her husband Farrell. "Anything I decide to do, he pretty much let's me do it."
