#BigUpBudeYouth – Young Footballers Swim for Charity
A group of Budehaven students who all play for Morwenstow Youth Football Club U13s and U14s took part and completed a sponsored swim on 18th November. They wanted to raise money for the charity Aspire who help people with a spinal cord injury. Every 8 hours in the UK someone is paralysed by such an injury.
They swam the length of the Channel 22 miles in Penstowe pool and raised a staggering £400! Well done to all those listed below.
