THE running club at St Peter’s CofE First School in Droitwich has organised it own Race for Life, raising £500 for Cancer Research.

The youngsters trained over this half of the term, building up their stamina, before taking on a 5km course around Droitwich Cricket ground, and all of them managed to complete the course despite the heat of the day.

Mrs Lisa Long, who organised the event, said: “I am so proud of all the children who took part. They have invested the time and commitment each week for the past six weeks to train and achieve something they could not do at the start. On top of this they have run for a very worthwhile cause.”
