Charity Run 2016
This year we had the privilege to do our house charity run for CLIMB - an amazing charity that supports those affected by inherited childhood metabolic diseases. It is close to the hearts of the house as it affects part of our community and so we really wanted to do a great job.
Therefore, on house run day the boys committed as a house to run as many laps of the house cross country course as we could. For some of the guys in the house getting out and running a couple of miles is hardly their first choice of activity so for everyone who ran to run at least 2 miles was much appreciated. The other amazing thing was being able to set off as a whole house, all running for the same cause; it brought an amazing collective spirit. Some finished earlier than others of course but all went out as best they could and special mention must go to Duncan, Charles and Dom who ran over five miles, with Alex G out in front running over 10 miles - a fantastic effort.
All in all, with a number of members of the house away on various things we put together 153 laps of the roughly mile long course which is a fantastic effort!
