South West fundraisers complete Children in Need challenge

Children and teachers have completed a running challenge as part of this year’s efforts to fundraise for Children in Need.

Inspired by the number 26, Perranporth Community School reception teacher Amy Williamson and Year 3 teacher Laura Pryor were each running a half marathon by clocking up 26 miles between them to arrive at school in time for assembly.

Marine Academy in Plymouth is also hosting BBC Devon as teachers there complete a 26-hour run on the treadmill for the charity.

It is part of a collective effort to get Pudsey from Land’s End to John O’Groats for the fundraising challenge.
