Wimbledon kickathon raises charity cash

A charity kickathon organised by the British Martial Arts and Kickboxing Academies in Wimbledon raised £250 on Saturday.

Students were sponsored to reach their kicking targets, which in some cases were as high as 2,000 kicks.

Seven-year-old Jai Ferguson, from Dundonald primary school, smashed his target of 300 kicks, managing to reach 500.

The money will be donated to Beatbullying, an organisation which supports children affected by bullies.
