Will Bradshaw charity cycle challenge

Congratulations to intrepid King's Ely Senior student, Will Bradshaw, for completing the gruelling 'Dunwich Dynamo 2024' cycle ride!

Will, who will be in Year 11 in September, decided to take on the 120-mile cycling challenge from Hackney, London, to Dunwich, Suffolk, not only to put his stamina to the test, but to also raise money and awareness for the Hope4Malawi charity.

The 'Dunwich Dynamo' first took place in 1992, and each year around 2,000 cyclists of all ages and abilities get involved. The event is always held on the Saturday in July which is nearest to the full moon. It starts in the evening, with participants finishing on the beach in Dunwich early on the Sunday morning. The overnight challenge has no official organiser, no entry fee, no marshals or anything else that you would normally find at a cycling event.

Will, who joined King's in Year 9 from St Faith's School in Cambridge, has raised more than £1,000, including gift aid, for Hope4Malawi. This will be added to the £25,000 that we have raised this academic year as a Senior School and Sixth Form community to help the charity build a new double classroom at Hope Secondary School in Malawi.

Construction work is due to start this September, and the charity says that the new facilities will enable 50 more students to attend Secondary School next year, who otherwise would not be able to.

A superb achievement, Will - well done!
