Kelly’s Kanter is a sponsored run/swim/mountain climb organised by staff at Sowerby Bridge High School.

Its aim is to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust and remember Kelly Johnson an ex-student and colleague who died in 2013 after losing her battle with Sarcoma.

Kelly worked at SBHS as a support Teacher. She was also an elite athlete who was supported by the TCT throughout her illness.

Staff will take part in either a 3 mile run, 9 mile run, Half-Marathon, Sprint Triathlon or a Full Triathlon. Other staff will be carrying out a sponsored swim or a climb up Mount Snowdon!

One colleague will be climbing Snowdon (highest mountain in England and Wales) on 3 consecutive days: Saturday 20th June, Sunday 21st June Monday 22nd June. Snowdon is 3560ft. The tourist path is 10 miles there and back. Doing it 3 times in a row equates to just short of climbing Everest from Base camp. And the average time is around 6 hrs round trip.

This is the fourth year and is particularly poignant this after the passing of Kelly Johnson in 2013. 

Please support the staff by making a donation, however small. All your money will go to the Teenage Cancer Trust. Thanks for your support!
