Team Knockevin Miles and Smiles Belfast Marathon Challenge

We have six amazing teams (5 teams participating in the team relay and a team of walkers who will tackle the 8 mile walk challenge) representing our incredible school called Knockevin special school which has 3 sites in Downpatrick, Castlewellan and Dundrum, Northern Ireland.

Our school caters for pupils with a variety of severe learning disabilities and we also have many pupils with complex needs. We are raising money for our school to purchase resources to strengthen the curriculum work and outdoor provision that we offer our pupils.

We are also rising to this Belfast Marathon relay team challenge/walking challenge (with many of us completing numerous stages of the relay and one of our Vice-Principals who is going to complete the whole marathon 26.2 miles !) to raise money for the amazing Air ambulance NI charity.

Air Ambulance NI provide unbelievable physical medical and emotional support in emergency situations across our province here in Northern Ireland. Many of us have unfortunately experienced this amazing support they provide when others cannot get to an emergency situation quick enough.

Your support will spur on our training and encourage us to complete this challenge in support of Knockevin school and Air Ambulance NI. Thank you !

Team Knockevin Miles and Smiles.
