Shires MAT Marathon Success – Over £2000 Raised for Grace Kelly Childhood
Cancer Trust!

On Saturday 15th March 2025, 25 incredible staff members and parents from across the
Shires Multi-Academy Trust came together for an unforgettable challenge – the Shires MAT
Marathon! Runners completed their miles by travelling from school to school within the
Trust, proudly representing our six schools and uniting for a truly meaningful cause.

This inspiring event was organised to raise funds for the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer
Trust, a local charity doing remarkable work to support families and fund vital research.
Thanks to the generosity of our school communities, families, and friends, we are thrilled to
announce that over £2000 has been raised!

The route showcased the strength of our Trust-wide community spirit, with each school
providing warm welcomes, cheers, and encouragement for the runners as they passed
through. It was a day filled with determination, teamwork, and pride – and a powerful
reminder of what we can achieve when we work together.

A huge thank you to all our runners, volunteers, supporters, and donors. Your energy,
commitment and kindness made this event a resounding success. Together, we’ve made a
real difference.
