Pupils feet march to secure an amazing feat

From the Echo, first published Monday 21st Jun 2004.

YOUNG pupils from a Wimborne school have raised £11,000 for Save the Children with a sponsored walk.

Dumpton School in Deans Grove has 265 pupils but they put their best feet forward and achieved the total when everyone joined in the fun.

The total walk covered 11.4 miles around a circular route through Cannon Wood to White Sheet in Wimborne where a picnic lunch was held.

Pupils between the ages of eight and 13 covered the whole route while those from three to seven walked six miles.

A cheque for £10,954.53 was presented to Save the Children area volunteer representative Alison Preston.
