Executive head On the run...but all for good reasons, in the name of charity
19 March 2009
Mr Chris Atkin, Executive Head of the Dover Catholic Federation of Schools (St Richard's and St Edmund's) will be putting on his running shoes for a extraordinary 26 mile run, as he joins thousands in raising money in the Flora London Marathon 2009. He explains his reasoning: 'On 26th April 2009 a month short of my 53rd Birthday, I will be running the Flora London Marathon to raise money for Children with Leukaemia. I will run in honour of Jake Owen, a pupil of St Edmund’s who late last year eventually lost his three year battle with the disease, aged 17. I would like to raise £2000 and would appreciate sponsorship no matter how small. Log onto: www.bmycharity.com/chrisatkin. Thank you.' We wish him every success for what is certain to be a great achievement!
