On Sunday 5th May at 9am, two teams of intrepid (or should that be trepid...) teachers from Rathmore Grammar School will be masquerading as runners to take on the team relay in Belfast City Marathon, running the length and breadth of our wonderful city to raise funds for this very worthy cause. In between, teaching, planning, preparation and marking, we've found time to train to take on this great challenge... although I think we're more comfortable with 30 rowdy teens in front of us in the classroom!

Any donation, no matter how small will help towards the invaluable work carried out by MSF all over the world.

Thank you in advance and wish us luck!
