Miss Rayner, a beloved teacher here at Stanground Academy, is dedicating her run to support Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice, a cause close to her heart.

Thorpe Hall Hospice holds a special significance for Miss Rayner, as it provided invaluable care to her uncle and granddad during their battles with cancer. Motivated by their memory and the exceptional care they received, Miss Rayner is stepping out of her comfort zone to raise funds for this worthy cause.

As she trains tirelessly for the marathon, Miss Rayner exemplifies the values of ambition, social responsibility, progress, integrity, respect, and kindness that we hold dear at Stanground Academy. Her commitment to making a difference in the lives of others is truly commendable and reflects the spirit of our school community.

We invite all members of the Stanground Academy family, as well as our wider community, to join us in supporting Miss Rayner on her journey. Together, let's rally behind her as she aims to raise £2,000 for Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice. Your generous donations can be made through her dedicated JustGiving page.

Miss Rayner's participation in the London Marathon not only embodies our academy values, but it also serves as a testament to the positive impact individuals can have when they come together for a common cause. Let's unite as #TeamRayner and show our unwavering support for her as she crosses the finish line in this remarkable endeavour!
