As many of you may already be aware, our beloved Hartburn headteacher, Mrs Claire Park, has recently beendiagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND). This news has deeply affected all of us, and while we are stillcoming to terms with it, we are inspired by her strength, resilience, and bravery.

In support of Claire, to raise awareness of MND, and to raise vital funds for MND research and supportservices, we are launching an initiative to benefit national MND charities, including the Motor NeuroneDisease Association (MND Association) and other established fundraising streams (including ‘Mrs Park’s Park’and ‘Hikes for Claire’).
