School charity reindeer run raises vital funds for Dr Kershaw's

The school's Reindeer Run raised more than £400 for Dr Kershaw's Hospice

Children and staff at Burnley Brow school in Chadderton took part in a charity Reindeer Run, raising funds for the Royton-based Dr Kershaw's Hospice.

Children from nursery all the way to year 6 ran many laps around the school hall and playground wearing reindeer antlers (kindly donated by Dr Kershaw's).

Festive music was playing throughout the run and the children were lead by Father Christmas himself!

The children had an amazing time and Inaaya in year 3 said: "I loved the run.

"I was tired after it but it was worth it.

"I am so happy I get the keep my antlers!"

Representatives from Dr Kershaw's visited throughout the morning and a visit from their mascot Hartley was loved by all of the children.

Following the Reindeer Run, Burnley Brow staff proudly revealed that they and the children had raised an amazing £401 for Dr Kershaw's.
