Story

<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">A group of staff members (past and present) is undertaking the gruelling Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for equipment for our new school playground. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Nine daring individuals will be attempting to climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in just 24 hours. We also have two voluntary drivers to transport us between mountains.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">The distance we will be climbing up and down the mountains comes to about 26 miles. The highest mountain peak is 1344 metres. So we will be climbing a marathon over a day and a night whilst travelling across 3 countries. Needless to say, no small feat!</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Team members are:</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sian Kelly, Leila Stayton, Karen Barnard, Heather Garrod</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Clare Page, Anna Dubis, Basilisa Asensio-Torres, Charlotte Birkbeck</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Rebecca Betts</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">The two drivers are Jon Spinks and Simon Page</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Amongst the items we plan to buy for the school with the money we raise are a self-weighted rower (&pound;1330) and a double cross country skier (&pound;1366). These will provide the vital sensory and physical input that the pupils require on a daily basis. </span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Please sponsor us at </span><a href="http://www.justgiving.com/stepbystep3peaks"><span style="color: #800080; font-size: small;">www.justgiving.com/stepbystep3peaks</span></a></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
