Student runs a mile a day for the whole of February for Charity

A Year 7 student from Winterstoke Hundred Academy took on a heroic task and ran a mile every day in February to raise money for pancreatic cancer.

Isabella Jackway started this fundraising adventure initially with her stepdad, but after he broke his ankle Isabell decided to carry on, on her own.

Isabella completed the one-mile circuit by her home, in all weather conditions, every day for 28 days completing 28 miles, and so far raising over £240 for this vital cause.

Isabella said: “It means a lot to me, I am so pleased to raise money for this very worthy cause. I would like to thank my family and friends for their support throughout.”

Ian Garforth, Principal of Winterstoke Hundred Academy, said: “We’re very proud of Isabella’s determination and thoughtfulness to achieve this wonderful fundraising outcome. Well done, Isabella!”
