Moving through March Fundraiser
Another March has come and gone and many hours of exercise have been achieved to raise much needed funds for the Bambisanani Partnership.
The Leeds Trinity University team
Individuals and teams from families and work colleagues have enjoyed the challenge of moving as much as possible in March 2025. Individuals and teams paid to participate with some also gaining additional sponsorship.
Based on 10 points for each hour of exercise, individuals and teams set targets to achieve. Activities including, Walking, Running, Pilates, Yoga, Swimming, Cycling, Gym sessions and Team Sports have all made a contribution to personal fitness and even provided competition between individuals and teams. 20 people participated in total raising more than £500 for the charity.
The prize for the most hours achieved went to Holly Pearson, a member of the Leeds Trinity University Sport Science Department. Congratulations Holly. A close second place went to Sheila King, recently retired from Trinity but who always has Bambisanani close to her heart. Sarah Todd the department head was delighted with her team's success and contribution.
The Pounder family team
Organiser and Bambisanani Partnership Trustee Barbara Pounder said, “Everyone who has taken up the challenge has supported the continuing work of the partnership in a really positive way. Thank you to everyone, young and old who has supported the Partnership and found just how much exercise they can do in 31 days. Brilliant effort everyone; keep the activity going! This is a great ‘Win, Win’ situation: promoting active lifestyles and raising money to support our projects in South Africa. Next year we aim to have even more people involved.”
