On Wednesday 29th May students and staff from the college took part in a Race for Life 5K to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
Over 500 staff and students took part in the event throughout the day at Lynnsport running track.
Participants had to walk or run 12 times around the track to hit the 5-kilometre target. They shared the reasons why they were running on their front and back signs. Each participant received a medal for taking part on the day.
College student, Lucy Enfield, said: ‘I ran the event for my Grandad who had multiple myeloma. He would be extremely proud of me today.’
College staff and students managed to raise more than £1,500 for Cancer Research UK.
Event organiser, Scott Leadley, said: ‘We are delighted with the success of the Race for Life event today. Both students and staff from across all campuses have come together to participate and help to fight cancer. We hope this is the first of many more to come.’
Principal David Pomfret said: ‘It was great to bring the college together to support a good cause and fight cancer.’
Stephen Halls, said: ‘I thoroughly enjoyed the Race for Life event. It was wonderful to see the students, staff and governors come together today and participate to raise money for a good cause.’
