KES to Paris!

Thursday 10th December saw 31 students from Eagles House embark on a massive challenge to raise money for our two chosen charities this year — Cancer Research UK and Breast Cancer Care.
The challenge was simple — to travel the distance from our school to Paris in six hours by RUNNING to Dover, ROWING to Calais and CYCLING to Paris. The 31 students worked in ten relay teams in the school fitness studio and undertook five 30 minute shifts during the day covering all the disciplines to cover the distance. It was a massive task and by the end of the day the students were utterly exhausted but they achieved their goal.
In total the students travelled 398 km (85 km running, 58 km rowing and 255 km cycling) — our target was only 378 km! The students were magnificent during this gargantuan effort and now the big task is collecting in all the sponsor money which we hope to exceed at least £700. Donations to our cause can also be made via our fundraising pages on line at www.justgiving.com/keseagles OR www.virginmoneygiving.com.
The student roll of honour for this event was Oliver Barrett, Abigail Carlton, Baran Cicek, Jake Constable, Aston Fredericks, Callum Friend, Danny Gilbert-Wynde, Marcos Green,Leo Hewitt, Sydney Hodder, Alfie Hughes, Chelsea Irving, Ryan Jones, Archie Lucas, Ethan Macabe-Fisher, Lily Marsh, Tamzin Moor, Lewis North, Alfie Pennie, Claire Russell, Lewis Rye, Jamil Saidyjah, Gemma Southwood, Kai Stokes, Jade Styles, Nicole Thomas, Noah Turner, Rowan Tyler, James Warnes, Paige Williams, Tia Woodcock.
