Sixth formers raise £4,000 for local children’s hospice

May 16, 2019

Hats off to our pupils and teachers who smashed their target of cycling 1,000 miles in 12 hours to raise money for the Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service.

Stationed in the Main Dining Hall between 7am and 7pm, over 50 Lower Sixth pupils and a dozen teachers took it in turns to reach the milestone on six exercise bikes.

The mastermind behind the event was head of history Mr Best, who is also cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats later this month for the same charity.

“It has been overwhelming how many pupils and teachers got involved and gave up their time and energy to help me raise vital funds for Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service. I can’t thank everyone enough for their support.”

Our team of cyclists smashed their target, reaching the 1,500 mile mark. The challenge has raised over £4,000 to date.

“This amount of money will make a massive difference to the extraordinary children and families supported by the amazing Alexander Devine Hospice Service.”

His personal challenge will mean Mr Best will be cycling around seven hours a day for 10 days, covering up to 100 miles each day.
