Boys take on sporting activities to raise funds

The boys of House Maine B at Christ's Hospital wanted to do something to build their team up and also to support a cause that is so dear to many of them for personal reasons.

Alex Witchell was the main organiser and he did a great job. They set about fundraising through sports activities. The boys of all ages ran, rowed, cycled and swam over 1,800km - the equivalent of a trip to Morocco.

Between them they raised over £1,300 for Cancer Research UK.
