Emanuel School students cycle for a cure

Twelve Emanuel School students rode a combined total of 422km to raise money for The Children’s Cancer Institute. The three-hour cycling challenge was organised by Year 7 student, Sarah Manoy.

Last year, Sarah visited the Children’s Cancer Institute where she learnt about the important work of the scientists who are investigating more effective ways to specifically target treatments for young cancer patients. When Sarah read about the Institute’s fundraiser – Endure for a Cure – she jumped at the opportunity to take part. She advertised the challenge to her fellow students with hand-drawn flyers and invited them to cycle for the cause. Sarah, along with 11 other Emanuel students rode for the charity at Centennial Park, collectively raising almost $2000. By committing to help others, the students have modelled the important values of compassion, generosity and community.
