For the last three years, the Sixth Form Charities Committee has organised a Sponsored Run / Walk in Heaton Park as one of their fund-raising activities during Lent. Those taking part are sponsored over either a 5km or a 10km circuit which they choose to run, walk or cycle! Last year over 350 people took part and raised a magnificent £12,000 for a Catholic Charity called T.L.C. which looks after orphaned and abandoned babies in Africa.
Twelve months on, though, and the needs of T.L.C. are as great as ever and so we are asking once again if you will be involved in our ‘Run for Life’ taking place in Heaton Park on Sunday, 2nd March starting at 10.00am.
Lower Fifth, Upper Fifth and Sixth Form pupils are invited to take part in either the 5km or 10km event and collect sponsorship for doing so. We also invite any former Students and Parents – of either current or former pupils – to take part and collect sponsorship. Lower School and Upper Fourth pupils, are also very welcome to take part as long as they are accompanied by an adult.

The Runners will have the chance of winning the trophy for the fastest Man and Woman over the 10km. course. In addition, Runners, Walkers and Cyclists will receive a Certificate to record their involvement and time over their chosen 5km or 10km course.

Pupils who intend to take part should return the form to their Head of Year. Parents and former students wishing to be involved in either the Run or the Walk are asked to return their form to the College Office. (downloadable form above). If any Parents are willing to act as Marshals or First Aiders on the day, then we would be delighted to hear from you. We will send you further details about the Course, Parking, Race Numbers, etc. once we know that you intend to take part.
If you are not able to take part yourself then please sponsor someone who is. Alternatively, what about coming along on the day to cheer on the runners and walkers? Taking part is not just about a really enjoyable morning for everyone but, more importantly, a means of helping children in Africa whose lives are much less privileged than our own.
