We were delighted to welcome local child Faith Howe to Rookwood School as part of her inspiring “One Mile a Day” fundraising challenge in aid of Young Lives vs Cancer.
Faith has already raised over £2,200 by completing a mile every day in creative ways – from running and walking to space hopping and, most recently, swimming. One of the highlights of her challenge was a one-mile swim in our school pool, where she completed an amazing 65 laps in five hours.
Headteacher, Mr Paul Robinson, said: “We were delighted to support Faith as part of her One Mile a Day challenge. Her determination and commitment are inspiring, and we are so proud to have played a small part in helping her achieve this fantastic fundraising total.”
Faith’s mum, Sara, added: “We really couldn’t have done it without Rookwood’s help. Having the pool available meant Faith could take the time she needed, and the team were so kind, supportive, and welcoming. It made all the difference.”
Faith’s “One Mile a Day” challenge runs until Sunday 31st August, and we are thrilled to support her as she continues her amazing efforts. Go Faith!
