St Stithians College Junior Prep children, from grades R to 2, participated in their very own shortened version of the world-famous Comrades Marathon.
At the school, the race is known as Comrades for Cancer. This event was initiated by the head of the school, Gayle Harris, in support of cancer research. By participating, children’s families donate towards this worthy cause.
