Exeter School's LEJOG stand raises £500 for charity
Exeter School put their best wheel forward by spinning the last leg of the ambitious Land’s End to John O’Groats cycle ride they are carrying out in August.
The intrepid team cycled 199.9 miles, replicating the final stage of the LEJOG route from Inverness to John O’Groats, using three bikes on turbo trainers in Exeter’s Princesshay on Saturday 11 June to raise money for the Janine di Vincenzo Foundation and The Children's Society.
They succeeded in raising almost £500 thanks to the generosity of the general public.
Earlier in the week they raised over £400 through cake sales in the Junior and Senior Schools.
The team of nineteen riders, including Headmistress of Junior School Sue Marks, Alumna Amy Marks, PE teachers Becci Carter and Ed Jones and supported by ten crew including includes Alumni Secretary Karen Dart and Head of Sixth Form Ali Marsh, two minibuses, and a van will cycle 904.8 miles and 46,678 vertical feet over ten days in August in a bid to raise £50,000.
