The Big Sports Day

Ate too much chocolate and watched far too much TV over the school holidays? Then why not dust off your trainers, wash that smelly gym kit and encourage your school or youth group to sign up for The Big Sports Day - Macmillan's fab new fundraising event for young people? All you need to do is pay a pound to take part in a Macmillan race, and every penny raised will help cancer patients and their families in the UK. Ask your teacher to register today.
