My Goal
Thorns PTA Sponsored Walks
Fundraising walk for pupils of Thorns Community Infant School to raise money to deliver a special summer celebratory event for our children to make up for the many missed memories over the last year.
Update 5th April: Our amazing children have completed the first walk in just 30 days so will be starting a new walk today around the British coast (around 7 million steps) to continue raising funds for their celebration. We will work out how to show progress here as well. We set an initial target of £1,000 but will be able to put on an even more spectacular event for the children if we are able to exceed this amount.
Thank you for all your support - every donation helps!
All donations are given directly to Thorns Parent Teacher Association

John o' Groats
John o' Groats is a village in Caithness in the north of Scotland.
John o' Groats sits at one end of the longest distance between two inhabited points on the island of Great Britain; Land’s End sits at the other end. The phrase “Land's End to John o' Groats” is used as a figure of speech for great or all-encompassing distance, similar to the American phrase “coast to coast”.
The village takes its name from Jan de Groote, a Dutchman who obtained permission to operate a ferry from the Scottish mainland to Orkney which had been recently acquired from Norway, by James IV, King of Scots, in 1496.
A groat was the name of a long-defunct coin used in Scotland and England.
