Support The Walk! Mary's Meals 24 Mile Challenge Walk

Sunday 3 July

It's a long road... 

Princethorpe students in Lower Sixth will be walking up a storm this Sunday 3 July as they take on the 24/7 Challenge in aid of Mary's Meals, the amazing charity that can feed a child for a year for just £15.90. With over 40 pupils and more than a dozen staff taking part plus many parent helpers on checkpoints there is strong support for the event that is in its 12th year.  

Beginning at 8.00am at the Queen's Head Pub in Meriden the walkers will follow the official Coventry Way route for 17 miles until Ryton and then branch out on a figure of eight route for a little over 7 miles for the remainder to end at Princethorpe College sometime around 4.00pm. This year the route distance has been carefully recalibrated to equal exactly 24.7 miles. 

Please use this link below to our fundraising page if you would like to support the fundraising for Mary's Meals. The charity commits to using 93p in every £1 on their hands on work feeding hungry children in their place of education. We are not far from this year's target to feed every child at Makalanga School in Malawi. Anything over and above this will go to Mary's Meals vital work providing food for children in Yemen and Tigray as well as next year's fundraising for Makalanga.
