Colleen is the mother of four year old Alfie Pentony who has muscular dystrophy and MacKenzie is a cousin to him.

McKenzie’s form teacher at St Paul’s, Ms Pauline Lynch assisted Year 9 class 09/87 as they hosted a bun sale during break time one day last week to raise funds for Alfie’s condition.

Well Done to class 09/87.
