A group of Dad’s from North Rigton Church of England Primary School are in training to run the Knaresborough Bed Race on 14th June.
The group are raising funds for two excellent causes to make their community healthier and safer.
Half the money they raise will be used to provide much needed sports facilities for students at North Rigton School.
This summer the PTA hopes to invest in new playground spaces including two trim trails and an outdoor classroom to make playtimes more active and fun.
They also plan to build two new storage units, and need to fill them with new balls, skipping ropes, and bean bags to replaces the current ones which have been damaged or lost.
They are also raising money in memory of Jimi Dickinson, who tragically passed away after collapsing a week after celebrating his 51st birthday in Huby. Faye, Jimi’s partner of 25 years, will be running the race with them.
Faye's wish is to say thank you to the residents of the village and hopefully save lives by responding more quickly next time, 50p of every pound we raise together will go towards another defibrillator site for the community.
To support the Dads of North Rigton visit their Go Fun Me Page Fundraiser here.
