Every 5 years, Marlborough College pupils undertake a 20 mile sponsored walk in aid of a range of charities. Each House at Marlborough will be supporting 3 causes for this event. 50% of what we raise as a House will go towards our chosen charity and the other 50% will be divided between the two charities chosen by the school.

Our charity rep, in conjunction with the whole house has chosen to support ‘Cancer Research UK’ which we view as a great cause. Please donate generously because everything we raise will go to three amazing causes.

When donating please put the full name of the pupils who you are sponsoring in the comments box. This is so that we can get an idea of who is raising the most money.

Below is a summary of each charity:

Cancer Research UK is a cancer research and awareness charity in the United Kingdom whose aim is to reduce the number of deaths from cancer. the world's largest independent cancer research charity it conducts research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Research activities are carried out in institutes, universities and hospitals across the UK, both by the charity's own employees and by its grant-funded researchers.

Lord’s Taverners is the official charity for recreational cricket and the UK’s leading youth cricket and disability sports charity whose objective is to 'give young people, particularly those with special needs, a sporting chance’.

Kempson-Rosedale Enterprise Trust is in memory of Rupert Rosedale, who died in an avalanche on Ben Nevis, and Mr Kempson who took part in Everest expeditions in the 1950s. Both were former Marlborough college teachers and great climbers. It allows students to carry out projects that fall within these two exceptional men’s interests.
