CHILDREN from Redcar's Kirkleatham Hall School have trained for two years to take part in a special race on Sunday.
Ten youngsters with learning difficulties have been training for the ten-kilometre cross-country Green Tree Run.

Neil has sprained his ankle, but he pledged: "I'll be there, cheering on the children. I wouldn't miss it.
