We are a group of friends with links to St. George’s Primary and All Saints Secondary School, York, and had planned to walk the Three Peaks pre-COVID for charity. Unfortunately, like so many things, this plan has had to be put on hold. Like so many we share anxiety about the impact the disruption to school learning has had on our children’s emotional, social and educational needs. This is more acute for pupils who do not have access to a laptop or a means to access remote learning as and when needed. We have therefore challenged ourselves to walk/run/stagger the 23 miles (37km) on pavement, field, back garden or treadmill over 3-5 days next week, finishing Sunday 10th Jan. The money raised will buy hopefully two laptops; one for St. George’s Primary School and one for All Saints Secondary School, for use by pupils who do not have access to them.
