Former pupil, Becky Tetley, took on the grueling challenge of a 40-mile running race to raise money for Help for Heroes. A collection by current Plymouth College pupils raised £427.66 of the £550 she donated to the charity.
A fitness instructor who left Plymouth College in 2002, Becky completed the Tring2town event in 7 hours and 36 minutes, running from Brentford in London along the Grand Union Canal to Tring in Hertfordshire.
After the race Becky came along to a school assembly to thank the pupils for their support, show off her medal and tell them all about her experience.
Not one to rest on her laurels, her next challenge is to organize a 3-peaks event.
