Grove School are giving our own local twist to the ‘Run for Heroes 5k’ that has swept the nation since the Covid-19 crisis started. We will be running, walking or cycling 5km either in one go, or over a few days, and then nominating five other people to complete the challenge. 

Some people in our community are finding things extremely difficult during these most challenging of times and we want to do our bit to support some of our local heroes. We have decided to provide the option of a voluntary donation on completion of the challenge to Market Drayton Foodbank. In the past month since the Covid-19 lockdown, Market Drayton Foodbank has fed 454 adults and children with over 5 tonnes of nutritionally balanced food. We have set ourselves the target of raising £1000 and would love the local community to join us on this journey. 

The process is really simple:

Run, cycle, walk 5 km
Share your success 
Nominate 5 other people to do the challenge 
Optional donation to Market Drayton Foodbank

Thank you.

Mr Barber, Mr Shone and Mr McStay have decided to take on a ‘May Mile Marathon challenge’ in an attempt to help raise further funds for the Market Drayton Foodbank. During the month of May, they will be cycling 1,000KM and to achieve their goal will need to be averaging just over 20 miles for each of the 31 days in the month. 

All are fully aware of the importance of food banks during these challenging times and want to do their bit to support a crucial charity in the local community. They will be seeking donations from friends and families and are hoping to raise as much money as possible!
