Patrick McGuinness’ epic Children in Need challenge surprised students at a school who were threatened with closure and who supported him.
TV star Paddy McGuinness surprised schoolchildren as a thank you for their support during his massive Children in Need challenge.
The TV star captivated the nation last November with his Raleigh Chopper cycling heroics. At the time, he was buoyed by the support of kids from St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School in Saltney, in Wales.
And he returned last Friday morning with his Chopper to express his gratitude. The school is in danger of closing as a result of Paddy’s visit.
The decision, which has irritated the children, staff, and the local community, caused the Flintshire County Council to want to start a super-school 14 miles away for children between the ages of 3 and 18 respectively.
He has previously sent a video message encouraging the institution to remain open. Papadi said, “When I came to your school with my Children in Need challenge, I remember coming home with my bum sore off the bike seat.
You all came out, drew me incredible pictures, offered me a lot of support, and cheered me on when I first arrived at your school. Thank you very much for making it possible for me to complete my challenge.
“And here’s something in return: I’m sending you all my love and support, let’s keep your fantastic school running!”
Paddy thanked the students for guiding him toward the finish line on Friday when he visited the school.
A source added: “His visit meant the world to our children, especially given the challenges our school community is currently navigating. Seeing their smiles and hearing their laughter as they interacted with Paddy, and received the generous donation of toys he brought, was truly heartwarming.”
