Students Conquer Ironman for Cancer Charity
9 Jul
Summary
- Year 10 students completed a full Ironman distance challenge.
- They swam 2.4 miles, cycled 140.6 miles, and walked 26.2 miles.
- The students raised over £1,150 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Students from Les Quennevais School have collectively completed the demanding distance of an Ironman challenge to support cancer patients.
The Year 10 students participated in a swim of 2.4 miles (3.9 km) in a pool, followed by a 140.6-mile (226.3 km) cycle during a spin class.
For the final 26.2-mile (42.2 km) leg, the students chose to walk the distance rather than run, a decision made in response to the high temperatures experienced on Wednesday.
Collectively, their extraordinary efforts resulted in raising over £1,150 for Macmillan Cancer Support Jersey, a charity dedicated to aiding those affected by cancer.
