On Wednesday 24th September 154 pupils and 40 staff left St Bede’s College in Christchurch New Zealand on the start of the “Run For A Life” CanTeen fundraiser.
When they crossed the finishing line last week each of them had run the equivalent of a half marathon each day for the past five days.
Their 120-kilometre effort raised more than $100,000 for CanTeen, a charity supporting teenagers with cancer.
The 154 St Bede’s College pupils were joined by six other students from other Catholic schools.
The boys were split into eight 20-person teams, each running to Christchurch from a different South Island location, including Nelson, Cromwell, Motueka, Haast, Karamea and Mt Cook.
