CLAIRE HOUSE :: Schools

Claire House would like to say a huge thank you to all the schools that took part in the Duathlon this year.
Schools around Merseyside and Cheshire hosted their very own Duathlon and collectively raised over £4000 for Claire House. The event which is only in it’s second year proved to be so popular because it is so easy to organise your Duathlon and combines exercise with fun. If that wasn’t enough, it even raises money for charity and indeed your very own school.

We are hoping 2010 will prove to be even more of a success but we need your help to do so. To find out more information of how to get involved please click here for ‘A fool’s guide to putting on your very own school duathlon’

Larry Wilson COMPLETES 35-MILE SCHOOL RUN FOR Claire House

Larry, a local school teacher jogged from Cheshire to Liverpool to complete a school run with a difference, he jogged from his home in Dunham Massey, to work at Shorefields Technology College, in Toxteth.
During the last three miles of the feat, which was in aid of Claire House Children’s Hospice, in Wirral, he was accompanied by 12 of his pupils as well as a police escort.
Pat Faragher, Deputy Appeals Manager at Claire House, said: “Larry started running four years ago and is an inspiration to all who meet him. He hopes to raise several thousand pounds for Claire House over the next year through various running challenges.
“The children from the school have also been fantastic in supporting us, they even handed over their lunch money to help the cause when they heard about our financial plight. “
