Learners and staff at the Young People’s Learning Provision (YPLP) in Lincoln have raised over £700 for a local charity.
The team have been taking part in sponsored activities, aiming to complete five marathons in five days through running/walking, biking, rowing and burpees.
In total, the team completed:
- 52.4 miles by bike
- 63 miles running/walking
- 31 miles rowing
- 2620 burpees
They also held a raffle and cake sale, and overall raised £729.85. The money has been donated to The Bearded Fisherman, a local charity supporting mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
Kellie- Marie Bryan, from YPLP Lincoln, said: "The learners absolutely loved taking part in the challenges and went well beyond their targets.
"And it was brilliant that we were able to raise so much money for such a worthy cause in the process. It's definitely got us all in the Christmas spirit!"
The Bearded Fisherman said: "Our call centre is our main focus at the moment (especially due to the pandemic) - improving the system, training staff and increasing its capacity to meet demand – every penny helps towards this and we can't thank you enough for the fundraising you’ve done for us, and the publicity of getting our name out there."
