A STUDENT will tackle a 200-mile walk to college this month to raise money for a charity working with Kenyan schoolchildren.
Isaac Pullen, 18, is set for a month of early starts, walking the 10 miles it takes him to get to college every morning.
The year 12 student, from Ullswater Community College in Penrith, came up with the idea on a rare walk to school back in March, when he realised that many children in other countries had to make a long journey every day just to get an education.
He said: “Some way into the journey it dawned on me that a lot of young children around the globe have to walk a similar distance to attend school and I wondered what kind of education they were walking for, what state for learning walking 10 miles each day leaves a child in, and what other factors these children have to deal with to obtain an education.”
