Kick-a-thon helps Haiti


The students of the Alloa School of Taekwon-Do took part in a sponsored kick-a-thon in aid of the Haiti Disaster. The students undertook the physically demanding event which raised over £600 for the red cross's work in the area. The cause is particularly close to the club as the president of the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) was killed in the devastation.

The Tigers class, for ages 3 - 7, also took part in a mini kick-a-thon which allowed them to show their parents the many kicks they have learned whilst shouting the name of the kick in Korean!

The junior class was next with some students achieving over 800 kicks in the short amount of time they had. However the stars of the event had to be Katie Riddell and Rebecca Clark, both achieving the most amount of kicks in the set time frame.
