Running Man!

We are continually amazed at the lengths some people go to raise money for Beyond Ourselves. And one man is going to go exactly 26.2 miles!


Peter Baker, Head Teacher at Mount Grace School in Potters Bar, will be running the London Marathon on April 22nd to raise money for both Beyond Ourselves and the Mount Grace School PTFA. 


If, like me, there's no way you would ever run a marathon but you'd like to support and encourage Peter as he does, then please go to http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com


On top of that effort, to get in to the stride of things and to get the pupils running too, Mount Grace School organised a fundraising Marathon Relay on February 26th from Tottenham Marshes to Hartham Common, Hertford. 


As one of our link schools here in the UK we are so thankful for all of their support of Beyond Ourselves and in particular Greater Joy School in Zambia.


The Marathon Relay involved various students running a mile (or more!) alongside Peter as he did a training run for the Marathon. 


Well done everyone - and keep running Peter!
