Costa Rica 2019 Fundraising Expedition

Brooke, Leonie and Daytona are running the Manchester Marathon (yes that’s 26.4 miles) on Sunday 7^thApril 19!

We are doing this to raise money for a month long volunteering trip to Costa Rica that Brooke is leading. She is taking 9 St Benedict’s students over to rural communities in Costa Rica where they will help to build a primary school. This trip is a once in a lifetime chance for the students to experience what life is like in Costa Rica on a day-to-day basis, get to grips with the problems communities are facing and actively become part of the solution. All students have been required to fundraise over £4000 each for the past two years and we are now on the home stretch.

This is the final fundraiser before they depart on July 8^th for a month!

Please be generous and donate if you can – we are also doing the Northumberland Run Nation half marathon on March 17^th as part of our training plan.

Wish us luck and thank you in advance,

Brooke, Daytona & Leonie
