On the 9th of June, Wickersley Northfield Primary School staff,children and families will be taking part in a variety of challenges to raise money for a charity very close to our hearts - the BDFA*.
Events include:
- a 13 station obstacle walk/run for children during the school day
- a 13k walking/running challenge for staff around the Wickersley after school (including an extended Virtual Blaydon Race by some Geordie bloke!).
Please sponsor our school and help a charity that provide so much support for the families affected by Battens.
Many thanks for your support - we really appreciate it.

*The BDFA provides support, advocacy and information to children and young people with Batten disease and supports their whole family. On 9th June 2021 it is international Batten Disease Awareness Day and the BDFA have a week of awareness events planned! We are also seeking to raise funds for the continued work of the BDFA and so we are launching this exciting event for anyone to get involved in and support.What is the event? There are 13 types of Batten disease and we are asking fundraisers to complete a challenge involving the number 13!
