8 year old Mithra Sathiyamurthi, a pupil from Abbots Farm Junior School, has completed a 62 kms cycle ride from Rugby Station round several villages in Warwickshire before returning to Rugby Town Centre to raise funds for her school and the Friends of St Cross Platinum Anniversary Appeal.
She has raised £800 which will be split equally between The Friends and her school.
Mithra’s Head Teacher at Abbots Farm Junior School said “We are very proud of Mithra for taking on this cycling challenge and raising money for the school and a great local charity. She is a pupil who embodies all of our school values all of the time but this challenge has especially shown her 'resilience' and 'Healthy Body and Mind'. At Abbots Farm, we also promote supporting local charities and the importance of social responsibility, so while I am thrilled that Mithra has chosen to donate some money to our school, I am even more thrilled that she has chosen a great local charity to donate to as well. Furthermore, the money Mithra has raised for school will go towards supporting our school's Eco-committee work which Mithra is an actively part of. What a great example of an Abbots Farmer she is!”
