The Lancaster Challenge 2021

“I decided to take part in The Lancaster Challenge 2021 and raise money for the RAF Museum.

"The challenge was to walk, run or cycle a minimum of 80km from January until the 17^th of May 2021, based around the Lancaster Bomber because on the 9th of January this year it marked 80 years since the aircraft took its first test flight.

"I started the challenge towards the end of January and reached my initial target of 80km by mid-March. I decided then to up my target to 150km. In lockdown it was much easier to go on daily walks or runs.

"After the Easter break when we went back to school, I found it harder to find the time to do my walks and runs. However, I persevered and by the 17^th May I had completed just over 150km, raising £200 as well.”
