A group of mums from Hyndland Primary School is running a 5K race on November 6 2013 to raise money for outdoor learning and sports equipment for the school. With the Commonwealth Games less than a year away, the school is doing everything it can to encourage the children to get outside and active. The school is also one of the lucky few to be chosen to receive the Glasgow Schools Baton and it will take receipt of the baton on the week beginning November 4. Our race will coincide with a programme of activities in school that week, all aimed at raising the profile of the Games and child health and fitness. 

The challenge we have set ourselves is to complete the race in a combined average time of 30 minutes. Some of the mums have never run before, others have never raced, others are Lycra-clad gym bunnies who we hope will keep our running stats down, but all are committed to doing everything we can to help our school encourage the health and well-being of the kids.

We'd be delighted if you would sponsor us. Every penny we receive will go straight to the school.

Thank you from Louise, Ailsa Grant, Ailsa MacEachan, Lesley-Anne, Jane, Eileen, Vari, Lisa, Carolyn, Marion, Ali and Helen
