Three support staff from Bryanston School completed the Great North Run in September, raising £4,700 for charity.
Three support staff from Bryanston School have completed the Great North Run, a half marathon that begins in Newcastle and finishes in South Shields. Matt Grime is head of catering, Kerri Spence-Grime is Hunter House matron, and Charlie Rigg is a security guard. Together they raised £4,700 for charity in September.
Charlie Rigg raised £1,700 for Combat Stress, a charity supporting veterans with mental health challenges. Rigg served 25 years in the Army and 18 years in the MOD before joining Bryanston three years ago. He said: 'Like 90 per cent of the security team here at Bryanston, I am ex-forces. Luckily for me, I do not suffer from any stress or mental health issues brought about by my service, but I know of many that do, including some that are unfortunately no longer with us.'
Matt Grime and Kerri Spence-Grime raised £3,000 together for the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, which funds research into Motor Neurone Disease. The Bournemouth Echo reports that Grime is now planning to run the 2027 London Marathon in support of the MND Association.
