TEACHERS RUNNING FOR CHARITY
We want to say an enormous thank you to everyone who has donated to our ‘Breast Cancer Now’ pot, so far. We have raised almost double the amount that we set out to achieve which is just brilliant! We also want to say a special thank you to all of our families who spent their Sunday morning cheering us on. Your beautiful banners and cheers helped us up and around the hills of Nottingham! The Just Giving page will remain active for a number of weeks, if you would like to donate to this great cause: https://www.justgiving.com/page/haydn-runs-for-breast-cancer-now?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL
