Brown Dog Sponsored Walk

1st June 2016
Over the Half Term holiday 5 members of staff took part in a sponsored walk to raise funds for Brown Dog cancer charity. Mrs Wardle, Mrs Wright, Miss Turnbull and Mrs Hickling walked over 20 miles in 12 hours along the Exmoor Coastal path starting at midnight and finishing at midday. Mrs Thompson started 12 hours earlier and walked 40 miles in 24 hours. It was an extremely tough but worthwhile challenge and along with approximately 50 other people raised over £30, 000 which will help to fund an ultrasound machine which will be used at Leicester General hospital for the early detection of womb, ovarian and cervical cancer.  Many thanks to all parents and colleagues for their generous donations - as a school we raised over £350!
