Mike and Aidan did it!!
100km in 34hours (yes, 34!), raising £2,259 for FOSM and St Mark’s! Donate here! You are amazing!
I do hope that puts a smile on your face as much as it did mine… They also said that every class they visited was an absolute delight. I hope your children are VERY proud of themselves too.St Mark’s PhotoReel
