Teachers raise £2000 for The UK Sepsis Trust

Congratulations to our four members of staff who completed the Chester Half Marathon, raising £2000 for The UK Sepsis Trust.

Junior School staff members Mrs Nicola Tomlinson, Mr David O’Neil and Mrs Nicky Davis along with Willow Lodge teacher Miss Eszter Takacs, ran the entirety of the half marathon. The teachers decided to run for the charity after Mrs Tomlinson was admitted to hospital in June 2016 with severe sepsis, a condition at the time she knew little about. Following on from her experiences, Mrs Tomlinson wanted to help raise awareness of this life threatening illness.

The generosity shown by all who donated has been overwhelming, with the Junior School pupils getting involved by guessing the finishing time of the teachers! The fabulous foursome has raised £2000 for The UK Sepsis Trust.
