Jo Kalies runs the London Marathon


d'Overbroeck's PE teacher Jo Kalies recently ran the London Marathon in aid of the Seafarers UK charity... and is now sufficiently recovered to tell us all about it!

Jo completed the course in a time of 6 hours 20 minutes, well within her 7 hour target. Jo says, 'it was an amazing day but very tough! Thank you to all those students and parents who have sponsored and supported me throughout'. 

Runners representing Seafarers UK have so far raised an incredible £38,456 - with £1,300 of that coming from sponsorship raised by Jo. It's not too late donate - please visit uk.virginmoneygiving.com/JoKalies

The final word from Jo, 'would I do it again next year? I'll have to get back to you on that one!'

Well done, Jo!
