We would like to say a big THANK YOU to the pupils and staff of Cokethorpe Junior School in Witney who recently took part in a sponsored walk in aid of Thomley and the Footsteps Foundation.
Collecting a sticker at each half kilometre checkpoint, one child managed twelve and a half kilometres in the hour and the youngest children managed three and a half kilometres each. The total distance covered by staff and pupils was an amazing 460 miles – further than from Cokethorpe to Paris!
The final amount raised was a fantastic £2800 and Maureen Marchbank who organised the school event said, “The children really enjoyed the challenge and were even more thrilled to be able to hand over cheques of £1400 each to our two chosen charities.”
Cokethorpe pupils having fun & raising funds!
