Isle Of Wight College Students' Virtual Kyiv Fun Run For Ukraine

Isle of Wight College students are taking part in a virtual run to Kyiv - and back - to raise money for Ukraine.

The 3,480 mile Fun Run will see Military and Public Service students running 60 miles or riding 120 Miles each.

They have all been tasked to raise £1 per mile or 50p a mile, with the aim of reaching £3,500.

Proceeds will help to pay for a truck for MAD-Aid to move much needed donations from the Isle of Wight to the refugees in bordering countries.

Public service tutor, Jono Hill, said:

"We hope to achieve this mileage within 2 weeks (a total of 30 miles a week) which is a really tough ask. Myself, Vykke and Bryan will all be getting involved and covering our own mileage to lead by example. 

"If anyone wants to get involved then message me direct on Teams and you can buy mileage from the students at £1 and Mile running or 50p a mile riding. Alternatively you can throw us £60 and crack your own Mileage “That would be Hoofing!”"

If you are sponsoring an individual please do not comment with the student’s name, just ask them to let their tutor know you have sponsored them
