Inspirational runner

Wow! Today we had Ben Smith from #401challenge visiting school to do an assembly along with Channel 5 who filmed it. He spoke about how he was bullied at school and how he lost his confidence. He chose to run 401 marathons in 401  days for anti bullying charities. 

From not even being able to run for a bus 3 years ago, he sold his house, bought a motor home and set himself this mammoth challenge. 

He ran from our hall to a loud cheer and was driving to Bamber Bridge to set off on his 213th marathon.
