With sports days unable to take place this year, Ark Academy is taking part in the Ark Sports Day Challenge - to get the schools across the Ark network to collectively cycle, run and walk the distance around the world. It is 40,000km! Ark Academy, has set a distance of 5,000 and they are racing across Europe! The school only has two weeks to complete the challenge, from the 1st to 15th July. Ark Academy need your help... they are fundraising during this event to further motivate themselves and all donations will support our children who have been most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

I will be endeavouring to trot around my local park EVERY day for 14 days from 1st July and that is a challenge for me. I estimate it is 4km, but hilly so I think that should equal 5km! I get my fitbit tomorrow so will soon know. Every £100 pounds raised is worth £250 to our school through match funding. So grateful for ANY support you can give to help a wide range of vulnerable students.

Thank you
