Stowmarket High School Year 9 students spent the day in the town centre either rowing, seeking donations or persuading people to take part to raise money for a new bike shed and outside resources for when the school has a new building in 2020. Their efforts raised nearly £380.

The event was very successful as one of the teams got within two kilometres of reaching Norwich before the 3pm deadline.

Richie Forde, head of year said: "Very well done to all involved.”
