Many Miles for Mary

On the 19th August, River Valley Lodge will be hosting the team from Many Miles for Mary – a charity group that sponsors four awesome charities.

• The Child Cancer Foundation
• The Cancer Society
• The Heart Foundation
• and Kidsline.

In addition to a locals dinner, where 15% of bar sales that night will go to this worthy group, the Many Miles for Mary Education Team will be stopping in at our school at 1.30pm.

The education team will be talking to the students about the charity run, about the charities, and also educate on health and physical activity.   Following this, the kids will get an opportunity to participate in a fun exercise circuit to support the run and to get involved in physical activity (I thought that this would be great since we have already begun training for our cross-country next term).  Also the kids have an opportunity if they choose to, to get sponsorship or donation for completing the activity programme with proceeds going to the charities. (eg. gold coin donation).

All are welcome to join us that afternoon to participate in the activities and discussion.  Also if you are really keen, you can join the runners the next morning (6am) as they set off on the next stage of their run.

For more information either contact, Brian or myself, or check out the Many Miles for Mary website.
