I’m running the Leicester Half Marathon to raise money for the Montrose School PTA’s Playground Fundraiser.

At the start of this year, the school council went on a school council training day at a local secondary school. One of the sessions involved planning an improvement to the school and the children were unanimous in what they wanted to improve: the playground. The playground surface has started to wear and the wooden equipment needs replacing. The PTA agreed to ‘spearhead’ the fundraising for the playground and the Montrose School Playground Fundraiser was born! We have a fundraising target of £30,000, which we think will cover the new equipment and the resurfacing of the playground.
