Vernon Kay, who presents Radio 2's mid-morning show, has been challenged to travel from Leicester to Bolton over four days - all by the power of his own two feet. In total he'll be travelling over 115 miles by the morning of Friday 17 November. What a journey!
On Wednesday 15th November, just after lunch time, the children and staff here at MBHT made our way to the bottom of Clifton Road to cheer on Vernon Kay on his epic challenge. After a short while waiting (and waving at every car that passed us), we spotted Vernon in the distance making his way along the road. Everyone was very excited to be so close to a celebrity and to support him on his fundraising efforts.
To add to the excitement, all the children received a high five from the man himself! It was great to be able to support Vernon in his fundraising and it was an experience the children will not forget for a long time.
