Birkhill Primary School in Dundee have been promoting a week long Health and well-being week which culminated in a SpeedMark Challenge at the school held by former Dundee United footballer Iain Stewart. 

As part of the week long project, pupils listened and interacted with a number of guest speakers including a yoga and kickboxing teacher, a chiropractor and a dental nurse.   

Its not the first time that SpeedMark have been asked to take part in a health week at Schools, Marketing Director, Nick Palich said,  

“It is becoming increasingly popular for schools to hold a SpeedMark event during a ‘healthy living week’.  Our former professionals can not only hold a fun and exciting day of activities at the school but they can also pass on their wisdom about healthy eating, and the dedications of becoming a professional sports person”.
