Coast 2 Coast 2022..... Year 10 students to run 170 miles in 24 hours!
Fundraising for Teenage Cancer Trust
Story
Wolverhampton Grammar School has run an annual Coast 2 Coast challenge for over 20 years. It involves a group of Year 10 students running the 170 miles from St Bees to Robin Hood’s Bay as a tag team in just 24-hours. This year’s Coast 2 Coast challenge will start at 7am on Saturday 28th May from St Bees, with the aim of arriving in Robin Hood’s Bay by 7am on Sunday 29th May 2022.
In preparation for their challenge, the students undertake 16 weeks of extreme training to prepare them. Members of staff support the students during their training and the challenge itself. Parents also support the students from along the route.
This year’s team is made up as follows:
Sachi Bhambra, Luke Hemmings, Mason Holles, Caleb Laing, Nacardo Lewis, George Margetts, Kyla Robinson, Jasraaj Sandhar, Elliot Woodall
Along with the sense of personal achievement for the students in completing this challenge, each year the event raises funds for a charity, which is chose by the students taking part that year.
For 2022, the students have decided to fundraise for: Teenage Cancer Trust. They have a specialist unit in almost every major NHS cancer treatment hospital across England; funding expert nurses, Youth Support Coordinators and Multidisciplinary Team Coordinators to provide the very best care and support for young people facing cancer.
