Story

I have been at nexus for the past 7 months, which has gone way too fast, and i have learnt a huge amount and i have been inspired by the people there: staff and students. It is an amazing environment of learning, community and encouragement. it places importance on you personally, not content to just give the same course each year to a whole new bunch of students, but to develop and take interest in each student's life.

The College is totally self-funded and it relies on donations to keep it running, so every year it has a rag week for the entire Nexus community to come together and help make sure the vision of the school continues. 

There are 5 events this year:

ABC Challenge

Teams of 4-5 who compete against each other in a race to cycle from Cities starting with A to Z. The team will strategise before they leave and plan their own route, deciding on the Cities they'll hit.

Run Britain

Teams of 4-5 (with a driver) will run the width of Britain, starting from Coventry to Aberystwyth. The team will strategise before leaving, deciding on whether they run through the night etc. and each member will run 5miles at a time before passing 'the baton' on to the next member. When the other 3 members have run their 5miles the driver will drop them off at their destination and they will do the next 5miles etc.

Musical

Written around the theme of Motown, the challenge is to write, rehearse and produce a musical within the time limit of a week. 

Drumathon

Touring Drumathon. The drummers will drum for 24hours in one destination, then spend the next 12 hours resting and travelling to the next destination at which they will set up and play another 24hrs etc. They are going to do 5 24 hour drumathons! 

Busking

Teams of 3 will compete against each other to see who can cross the greatest linear distance in a week with their funds coming simply from the money they raise from Busking at various destinations. 

I am taking part in producing a musical in a week which will be a massive stretch of my musical ability and ability to sleep small amounts.

All of these events are working together to raise for nexus so if you sponsor me you will helping the college as a whole to continue. I am really passionate about this cause. This year has been an incredible experience and I want other people to experience that too.
