Before the event, the children raised lots of money for school sports equipment and for the charity 'Sports for Schools'. They then took part in a fitness session lead by Sean. After that, Sean gave an inspiring assembly where he detailed his life story and explained how he overcame the obstacles which he has faced. The children asked some amazing questions which Sean answered honestly and openly.
