She did it! Congratulations to Carmela who completed her ‘poo plod’ yesterday – finishing her five-mile journey with a fanfare as she was welcomed back to school by students and staff.
Carmela, dressed as a toilet, accompanied by her mum in an inflatable poo costume, and supported by staff, students and parents, travelled to Bournemouth Pier and back to raise funds for accessible wash/dry toilets for the school.
Staff formed a guard of honour to mark her return to school at the end of the plod, with friends and classmates cheering her on.
So far, Carmela has raised more than £1,250 towards her fundraising goal, which will support students' dignity and independence.
Thank you to everyone who has supported so far. If you would like to donate, click the link in the comments.
