“We’re incredibly grateful to the students of Seacole Park for raising this fantastic amount. Running 5K is impressive at the best of times, never mind in fancy dress.” – Michelle Ford, Regional and Events Team Manager at Martin House Children’s Hospice.
Everyone at Compass Community is sending huge congratulations to the students at CCS Seacole Park, Beverley, East Yorkshire, who raised £502 for Martin House after taking part in a 5K fancy dress run.
Martin House has been providing children’s palliative care since 1987 and supports more than 500 children and young people each year, along with around 200 bereaved family members. Their services are provided free to families and are funded largely through donations and community fundraising.
Sarah Kerwin, Executive Headteacher at CCS Seacole Park, said: “We’re extremely proud of our students for completing this challenge, and raising so much money. Martin House does brilliant work caring for children and families in our region, and we’re delighted to support their cause.”
The charity was chosen because of a personal link to one of the runners. Tommy Green, 10, is the grandson of Sheila and Brian Garner, who help lead the Friends of Martin House Hull and East Yorkshire group.
Well done everyone! You’re an inspiration 👏
