On Thursday 8th May and Friday 9th May, years 4 and 5 from the Junior School and Year 9 from the Senior School attended the annual event, ‘No Finish Line’, the longest and biggest charity race worldwide at the ‘Calatrava Agora’ of the Olympic Athletic Centre of Athens (OAKA).
Those taking part are encouraged to walk or run the longest distance that they can, regardless of their technique, style or rhythm. The event which is organised and dedicated to support the association ‘Together for Children’, raises funds and contributes, on an annual basis, to the implementation of programmes for the benefit of 30,000 children in need. For every kilometre covered by each participant, the sponsors donate €1 to charity.
Our pupils did us proud, managing to clock up a total of 2,180 laps, covering a total of 2,098 km altogether! All for a noble cause supporting children in need. The school’s exceptional effort earned 2nd place among participating schools and 8th place overall in the combined schools and companies' category.
Well done, St. Lawrence walkers, for another inspiring effort!
