Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Year 2 staff and children at Bishop Ellis Primary School are going to try and attempt to run a relay race to the French Alps and back over Lent. Sadly, our head teacher won't authorise the trip so we're having to run in the school grounds. Every morning, the children and teaching staff will be attempting to run a mile before they start work and over Lent, the aim is for everyone to run at least a marathon. Our combined target is 1500 miles and a HUGE thank you to everyone who can sponsor us.

This year, we're raising money for Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People and especially for a pupil who used to be at Bishop Ellis. 13 years old Matty Hatton was diagnosed with the a brain tumor, known as medulloblastoma, in December 2016. He's currently on a 48-week course of chemotherapy, as well as radiotherapy and he's both a fighter and a superstar, just like your children! Once you're at Bishop Ellis, you're always at Bishop Ellis so he's one of ours!
