Spanish marathon helps blind charity
5:03pm Monday 8th December 2008
PUPILS at North Town Primary School, in Taunton, have covered the 800-mile journey to Spain to raise funds for Somerset Association for the Blind.
The 412 youngsters got on rowing machines and exercise bikes and chose Spain as North Town is twinned with a school in Granada.
They raised a total of £680 for SAB, which was chosen as the school often arranges visits to enable the children to learn about the needs of partially sighted people.
