It was absolutely amazing to see the @CarrongrangeSch art work on display in Rome today, as it marched its way to Stadio Olimpico for the Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 v Italy 🇮🇹 match. Lots of hard work from POD 4 went into this, supported by the wonderful @MissArtyPCarr! @MNDoddie5 @Dodd1e5

On International Woman’s Day, it’s important to recognise the mastermind behind getting the ‘All Roads Lead to Rome’ challenge off the ground for @CarrongrangeSch ! @wylielin is a force to be reckoned with and an inspiration to all, proving that any challenge is possible for all!

6 weeks ago we started our ‘All Roads Lead to Rome’ challenge in the hope of supporting the official @Dodd1e5 team. We knew it would be a challenge and we couldn’t be prouder of how our young proper have embraced it. Here’s a flashback to the school swimming the English Channel!

[Carrongrange High School - Race 2 Rome @CHS_ROAD2ROME]

We continue to receive amazing messages of support from the @Dodd1e5 team, who are working super hard to put the miles in and reach Rome with the match ball in time for the game on Saturday! The awareness they are bringing to the funding of MND is huge - you are fantastic 🤩!

[Carrongrange High School - Race 2 Rome @CHS_ROAD2ROME]

With the end of the challenge drawing nearer, the pupils today were out in full force to complete more 🚴‍♂️cycling 🚴‍♂️ laps of the playground. Over 1300 laps covered today, meaning ‘Reaching Rome’ virtually by Friday afternoon is totally doable. The excitement builds for the finale!

[Carrongrange High School - Race 2 Rome @CHS_ROAD2ROME]

@CarrongrangeSch were delighted to receive messages of support from Ian, Gordon and Gayle today. As they cycled with the team of cyclists through the Alps and onto Monaco, they took the time to send us some good luck messages to complete our challenge 👏🏻! @Dodd1e5 @doddie_aid

[Carrongrange High School - Race 2 Rome @CHS_ROAD2ROME]
