#twopointsixchallenge
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic effect with the cancellation of thousands of events and the loss of billions in income through fundraising events.
The Virgin Money London Marathon alone, which should have taken place on Sunday 26 April, is the world’s biggest one-day fundraising event, which raised more than £66.4 million for thousands of charities in 2019.
The challenge involves dreaming up something to do with an activity based around the numbers 2.6 or 26 that suits your skill, this could be something as simple as pledging to run or ride 2.6 miles as your daily exercise, holding the plank for 2.6 minutes, to gardening for 26 minutes. There are no rules – apart from the Government guidelines on how to exercise safely during this time.
We are enormously proud of all the girls and staff who took part in the #twopointsixchallenge, here is what some of our pupils and staff did:
- Anais made 26 pancakes
- Rebecca made 26 cupcakes
- Mrs Lund walked 2.6k everyday for 10 days
- Paula ran 26km
