St. David's Hospice Santa 3 mile Run:
20th November 2012
As you know, our charity this year is St. David’s Hospice in Cwmbrân. On Saturday, December 8th, the charity is holding a 3 mile Santa Run here in Cwmbrân.
Twelve members of staff have agreed to take part in the run and we are also very keen to get some pupils, or you as parents / guardians involved in the race.
This will be a perfect opportunity to raise money for charity whilst keeping fit. There are three different races and the information, as it appears on the website, is below. The races are suitable for all ages and for all fitness levels, according to the website.
If your child and/or you would like to take part in any of these races, please contact me in the school and I will send a registration form back to you. To enter, the charity is requesting a minimum suggested donation of £5 for all ages. Unfortunately, we can’t be responsible for the pupils on the morning of the race so we’re kindly asking parents / guardians to come along to look after the children and to support this cause.
Diolch / Thank you, Miss Passmore.
