We are proud to be partnering with Castle School, an all-area Special School based in Cambridge, to fundraise for new exercise equipment for the school by getting our running shoes on and exercising ourselves! As a group of 4 (consisting of Julia, Sophie, Sophie.. and Sophie!) We are collectively challenging ourselves to run a Marathon Des Sables - minus the desert! Which distances at 255k, over a 6 week period.

 Castle School has found exercise equipment, such as treadmills and exercise bikes, hugely beneficial for their autistic pupils who find the rhythmic motion very soothing and it helping them rebalance their sensory integration system. Additionally, they found that exercise bikes are incredibly therapeutic, as well as great for health and fitness.

Now more than ever the school are keen to get the equipment ready for September when the school will resume fully as the pupils’ mental health will have been deeply affected by Covid 19, so getting them back into exercise routine will be very important at this time! 

We and Castle School would greatly appreciate anything you could give towards this great cause

..also fingers crossed for us and our mediocre running abilities!

Thank you!

Julia, Sophie, Sophie and Sophie
