Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Like many areas of society Charities have been badly hit by the lockdown to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. There much needed work continues but there sources of revenue to fund this has vastly decreased. Normally in June we would hold our annual Bishop's sponsored walk to Rodsley to raise funds for our charities of Rainbows and Bluebell Wood Children's Hospices, but this has been cancelled to adhere to the government guidelines. But where there is a will there is a way!

The St Ralph Sherwin Catholic Multi Academy Trust are aiming to raise £500 for Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice by challenging our school communities to collectively run, walk, cycle or swim the 1270 miles the distance from the Venerable English College in Rome (where St Ralph Sherwin was sent from on his mission back to England) to Rodsley (where St Ralph Sherwin was born). We will aim to cover this distance throughout the month of June and track our miles using the Strava platform.

The Bluebell Wood SRS Rome to Rodsley fundraising page is for the communities of: St Thomas More, St Philip Howard, Federation of All Saints and St Margaret's , Christ the King, St Anne's, St Charles', St Joseph's Matlock, St Mary's Glossop, St Mary's Marple Bridge, St Mary's New Mills.

Our school communities in the southern half of the CMAT will be covering the same distance from Rodsley to Rome and raising funds for our other charity - Rainbows and their fundraising page can be found here: www.justgiving.com/SRSRodsley2Rome
