Linacre's fundraiser for Classrooms in the Clouds

Indoor Row · 5 May 2024
Linacre House are fundraising for Classrooms in the Clouds in support of the schools charity of the term drive. We sometimes take for granted how lucky we are to be able to walk from our amazing boarding house to lessons less than 5 minutes away.... this same journey takes on average 2 hours for rural Nepalese communities..
We can show our togetherness and team spirit in completing a physical challenge to give you reason to support us in our drive to raise money for this hugely worthy cause. Education should be something for us all to thrive from, regardless of where we live... and through Classrooms in the Clouds, we have the opportunity to bring this to life for those who need it the most.
As a poinit of reference - this fantastic charity pays for the building of schools, infrastructure, teacher training and resources.... £4,000.00 is enough to pay for one teacher... could we help pay for one of these teachers??
The challenge:
- Every member of the house (60) to row the height of Mount Everest (8849m) in a one hour time slot
- The house to keep all rowing machines moving for 12 hours
- Each person to aim to finish in 45 minutes... 45 minutes x 60 people... £2700... which is a pound a minute!!!!
