Pestalozzi fundraising officer James Bacon says the event was a wonderful opportunity for students and staff from both educational organisations to work together in a supportive and fun atmosphere for 24 hours, adding: “I thank Claremont for their amazing fundraising efforts and look forward to future collaborative events.”

Ed Dickie, Deputy Head, Claremont Senior School, who participated in the challenge, says the 24 hour workout gave an opportunity to raise significant funds for an important and worthwhile cause and allowed students to interact with a group of inspiring young people from around the world.

“We look forward to many more such opportunities in the future as Claremont continues to build a strong relationship with Pestalozzi,” he said.
