Four former students of Sir Thomas Rich's School completed the entire length of Hadrian's Wall recently, covering all 70 miles in just over 14 hours! Charlie Isaac, together with friends Chris Green, Ollie Booth and Scott Anderson, took on the remarkable challenge to raise money for a range of charities. The four friends, who left Sir Thomas Rich’s School in 2005, have remained close over the years and decided to undertake the demanding endurance run in support of causes that are important to them.

Charlie ran in aid of Prospect Hospice, where his younger brother Harvey, who has cerebral palsy, works. The team also raised funds for The Williams Syndrome Foundation, Prostate Cancer UK, The RAF Benevolent Fund and an MS charity.

Their achievement saw them complete one of the UK’s most iconic long-distance routes, demonstrating extraordinary determination and endurance while supporting a number of worthwhile charitable causes.
