WE'RE LIVE! Come track our every move here https://ucl.studentjailbreak.co.uk/ and keep an eye out for lucky number 13
The door is off the latch and these 3 little birdies will be flying as far away as they can get!
At the beginning of March, we will be participating in 'Jailbreak' and will have 36 hours to skip, hop and jump towards the horizon. The key rule is that we have to get as far away as possible without spending any money whatsoever.
Those interested can donate a set sum or take a chance and pay per mile - Last year Jordan and Margot got to Doha!
Funds raised go towards VITAL - An incredible charity that has been funding schools, providing food and safe havens for the children and working with communities to dismantle stigma. Based in Kolkata, their 5 projects work closely with street kids in red light districts.

Maggie's Barts - has built beautifully-designed centres up and down the UK with the help of renowned architects. Every year professional advisors give practical, emotional and social support to thousands of people living with cancer.

The Single Homelessness Project - every year helps 8000 people without homes across London to take steps towards independence and employment. Specialists work in secure accomodation to help members find stability. In the community tenants are helped to maintain their process of reintegrating into society.
VERY EXCITINGLY, a sponsor (that will remain anonymous until the weekend of the event) has promised to match total donations by 50%!
At the end of the weekend, the funds raised will be collected by the UCL Union and divided equally between the three charities by our own sweet treasurer, the mathematically magnificent Margot.
In return for your sponsorship, you will receive:
Comedic updates unnervingly regularly letting you know where and how we are, photographs and poetry included, all of which will be documented on our Instagram: @whoistherealthirdwheel
A map that allows you to track our progress throughout the event
Access to the final video of the event, an execution of cinematic genius that will give you a front seat to the self-declared best of the best of UCL’s comedic trio’s antics
Good karma for supporting such an excellent cause
