School Walk for Noah

At precisely 2:40pm on the 7th March, Noah had an accident on his motorbike and had broken his back and in the process had become paralysed from the chest down.

Six hours of emergency spinal surgery from the team at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford saw 2 titanium rods and 9 screws straighten and steady Noah’s T6 and T7 vertebrae, an internal scaffold tower securing his breaks.

Noah's mind-set tells him that he will walk again, but to give him a real shot at that, he needs full time physio, not just the 3 hours a week that is available at Stoke Mandeville. He needs hydrotherapy. He needs robotic stimulation. He needs options and therapies that are only available through the private sector, all of which come with a hefty price tag.

We are planning to get the whole school involved by with the whole school walk. The target is to cover 9545.67 Kilometres on Sunday 12th September.

We have set up this distance as it is the Distance from the Olympic and Paralympic Stadium in Tokyo back to Stowe.

If each Pupil and Staff member walk the 10km circuit and raises £1.00 for each kilometre walked, we will reach our target. Of course, if parents wish to sponsor more that £1.00 per km we are likely to exceed this target.

The walks will begin from 1.50pm on Sunday 12th Sept.
