Earlier this year, Thea in Year 6 set herself an ambitious goal as part of her Individual Brilliance Award application, to complete the famous Coast to Coast walk.

This summer, she achieved exactly that.

Over 13 consecutive days, Thea walked all the way from St Bees on the west coast of England to Robin Hood’s Bay on the east coast, travelling through the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors. Facing challenging conditions, including the summer heatwave, she covered an incredible 205 miles in total and climbed over 8,000 metres, almost the height of Mount Everest.

Thea undertook the challenge to raise money for Bristol Children's Hospital and is now just shy of raising an amazing £2,000.

A huge congratulations to Thea on this remarkable achievement. Her determination, perseverance and commitment to making a difference are a wonderful example of individual brilliance in action.
