Thanks for visiting our team fundraising page.
We've joined together to raise money for charity. You'll see our team fundraising target on the right. Your donation can really help us smash this goal.
Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted
emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
Following on from previous fundraising events, this year students from King Edward VI School in Stratford upon Avon will be taking on a new sporting challenge. To celebrate 600 years since the first brick was laid at the
Guildhall, (‘Big School’ to K.E.S. students and staff) two teams of students will race to hit a combined target of 600km on Saturday 12th May.
Starting and finishing at Stratford upon Avon Boat Club, 8 students will cycle 50km from 8am, 10 students will row 5km from 9am and, once the rowing target has been met, 20 runners will start a 7.5 km run.
The teams are looking to raise more than £5,000 to be split between the School Charities – Myton Hospice and Great Ormond Street Hospital – and providing funding towards sports facilities at the School.
Director of Sport at King Edward VI School, Richard Mahony, said: "Following on from the success of the Race to the Tower last year, the KES 600 Challenge is
an inspirational race that will test our performance students as well as raising much needed funds for the school charities. Please come and join us on the day to cheer both teams on".
The KES 600 Challenge is being supported by a number of sponsors including micus Accounting, Lodders, Rosconn Group, and Johnsons Coach and Bus Travel.
