Team KES Running for Bethany Baker
Mr Baker is Head of Physics at King Edward VII
Last summer, Mr Baker’s daughter, Bethany, suffered a brain bleed which caused a brain stem stroke.
Bethany, however, is a fighter! Since that time she has been making steady progress, although today she still requires help to breathe with a ventilator, and is currently receiving 24-hour care from The Children's Trust, Tadworth – a fantastic state-of-the-art centre for the treatment of acquired brain injuries, opened by Richard Hammond in July 2009. The Children’s Trust recently celebrated their 25th anniversary, and does an enormous amount of work for the rehabilitation, education, care and therapy of severely disabled children.
To show our support for Bethany, Mr Baker and the rest of the family, many members of KES school staff and friends have joined together to train and take part in:
The Sheffield Half Marathon

One of the ideas we have is to raise enough money for an adapted bicycle so that when Bethany returns from the Children's Trust, she and her dad will be able to get out and about in the fresh air and have some fun together.
Rest assured, all the money we raise will be put towards things to improve Bethany's quality of life.
Please support us in our aim, and dig deep (as we will be on the day of the race!) to show your support for Bethany, Mr Baker, and the rest of their family.
Thank you!
From all involved in ‘Team KES’
