Riverside Special Scho money for new minibu A group of staff from Riverside Special School in Goole are getting together in the Easter holidays to walk the Yorkshire Three Peaks in hope of raising money to go towards a new minibus for the school The Yorkshire Peaks walk entails a gruelling 24.5 mile walk including three of the highest peaks - in under 12 hours. In the run up, staff will be dedicating part of their weekend to train for the walk which will be taking place on Thursday 21st April 2022. Our Goole had a chat with Jodie Mitchell to find out more about the fundraiser. What will you find most challenging? I think the Yorkshire Three Peaks is a challenge in itself - walking three of Yorkshire’s highest peaks, totalling 24.5 miles and hoping to do it under 12 hours. It will be hot according to The Met Office so that in itself could be a challenge! What are you most looking forward to? I’m most looking forward to spending time up in the hills. It’s always been one of my favourite things to do and I think doing it with a bunch of like-minded people from work will make it 100 times better! I also think what a team-building exercise. What made you want to sign up to the challenge? I actually decided on the challenge and asked who would like to join! I couldn’t believe the amount of colleagues that signed up! I think it’s going to be a great experience and it’s all for the pupils at Riverside. We wish Riverside Special School all the luck for this challenge!
