Story

I've been working at National Star in Ullenwood near Cheltenham for 18 years in the library and in learning support.

When National Star decided to take part in Sir Captain Tom's 100 Challenge to raise funds, I thought it would be a great idea to complete a darts challenge on my dartboard at home based around the number 100.  

I will aim to go round the board (landing darts into each segment of the dartboard) 100 times in one day (two days if it takes longer) over the May Bank Holiday weekend.

Please support the National Star, who provide education and life skills training to young people with complex disabilities.  Their work enables their learners and residents to live their lives to their full potential.

See you at the oche!
