We’re raising money as part of the Schools Challenge with Cash for Kids. We’ll get to keep everything we raise, but the top three fundraising schools will receive an extra award from the charity!

Any amount you can to give is very much appreciated. After you sponsor us, it would be great if you could leave a photo or video support message too!
