On the 26th
July, a small group of us are cycling from Bristol to Colwyn Bay in North Wales
for charity. The ride will be about 240 miles long and will take us 4 days. Members
of the team have nominated their own charity to support and I have chosen to
support Ataxia UK.
As many of
you know, Liam Rice in Year 6 has Friedreich’s Ataxia. Ataxia is the name given to a group of neurological disorders that affect
balance, coordination, and speech. There are many different types of ataxia
that can affect people in different ways. Some forms of
ataxia are treatable, but in most cases there is still no cure. Ataxia UK are
funding a wide range of research projects to try to find treatments that can
help ataxia, and ultimately to find a cure.
I realise that this is a busy and expensive time of the year, so I will
asking for donations towards Ataxia UK when we come back in school in
September. By that time I hope to have successfully completed the ride and will
have pictures and stories to share with the children. However any donations
received before September will be gratefully received.
I hope to put lots of pictures on the School Blog along the way. Thanks
for your support.
Best wishes
Matt Condon
Headteacher
