Distington school kids are practicing for fundraising event ‘Race for Life Schools’ to show their support for Cancer Research UK Running shoes are tied for a charity fundraising event taking place in Workington. Schoolchildren and staff at Distington Community School are taking part in Race for Life to support the incredible work of Cancer Research UK. It was the charitable idea of Steven Bragg, a teacher at the school, who wanted to do something more for his school and community. He said: We have decided to take part in the Race for Life because we have been working really hard over the past year or so to improve the levels of daily activity that all of our children are engaging with on a daily basis.
