A Marathon for Naomi House |

He did it! On Sunday 22nd April, 2007, Hordle Walhampton's Headmaster walked (and even partly jogged) the Flora London Marathon. Those who knew him six months ago hardly believed it possible and certainly measured how much of a challenge it would be however, he completed the 26 miles in just over eight hours. Despite very sore feet and a rather interesting way of walking, he didn't turn down the possibility of doing it again. April 2007
Take your marks, get set......Good Luck! Time flies by, especially when you would prefer it not
to: it has been over two months since the Headmaster announced that he
was going to take part in the Flora London Marathon to help raise funds
for Naomi House, and it is now time to put his legs where his mouth is.
Keep an eye on the news on Sunday evening, as you may well see him or
another member of the New Forest team crossing the finishing line. April 2007
Cakes and Green Day for Naomi House The School Assembly looked particularly green on that Friday morning, and as everybody was getting ready to go home for Half-Term, the school uniform was replaced by flashes of green clothing running through the corridors. Thanks to the School Council's Hard Work and selling skills, the cake raffle was a huge success, with over 50 cakes donated and a total raised of £405.73. February 2007
Headmaster will run London Marathon for Naomi House Our beloved Headmaster Mr Phillips announced the very brave decision this morning: having been offered a Gold Ticket by Naomi House for this year's Flora London Marathon, he will run (walk, crawl...?) 40 kilometres on April 22nd. The objective is to raise funds for the Children's Hospice, and everyone's support will be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, we shall keep you informed of his progress in our new special feature "The Diary of a Runner". February 2007 |
