Summerhill complete the 5k Race for Life

Today, Summerhill supported School House by running in the 5k Race for Life.  14 boarders - everyone who was in this weekend - went down the the Royal Victoria Park in the center of Bath.

We met up with the School House runners.  At 10:45am we warmed up with a dance routine.  We then selected if we wanted to run, jog or walk.  Mrs Morris, Lottie, Lara and I chose to have a quick-ish walk around.  The whole route was based around the park.  It was excellent to see the rivers of pink, flowing their way past the Crescent and through the park.  

Some of the girls chose to run with the names of the people who had been affected by cancer in their backs.  Lots of us were thinking of Mrs Clarke, and it was really amazing to see her with Mr Clarke near the start line.  She then moved to see us near the end as well.  It was lovely to see her.  She was really touched that we were running with her in mind.

Lizzie won the whole event!!  She passed us as we were at the 1.5k point and she was at about the 4k point.  Charlotte and Miss Wilson also did very well coming in the top 10 competitors.  

I will add the photo's I have at the moment, and as I get sent more, I'll add them to the Blog.

A heartfelt 'thank you' to those parents and friends who have donated money to our Just Giving page.  Our total currently stand at £150, including Tax-Back.  I think Kingswood as a whole have raised over £600.
