Charity Run for Rays of Sunshine

February 5, 2017

On Sunday 5th February the girls of Paull’s House organised a 5K run to raise money for the charity Rays of Sunshine, which works to grant wishes to terminally ill children.

Over 40 runners from the Aldenham School boarding community as well as several day pupils and parents came together to take part in this event. Despite the cold and fog, the runners were in great spirits and showed a positive attitude throughout the very muddy route. As well as having a really great time together they raised over £250 for the charity. Thank you to Year 11 students Jolie Sharpe and Emma Conway for their efforts in organising this fun event and to all the runners who took part!
