My aim, bring a Pool Table or two to the GUHS to create entertainment within the school. How am I going to achieve this? Running 56.4 miles.

My name is Shannon Thorp, an S6 pupil here at Glen Urquhart High School. 

I have had a thought in my head for a while now, and it's something that I have been asking myself over the last five and half years of being in this school, is can we have more entertainment in the school.

My idea is to bring a Pool table or two to the school, as well as an Air hockey table but that is not all…

For me though this isn’t just about the Pool & Air hockey tables, this is about giving something back to the school, as I feel they have given a lot to me so can I give back by leaving the pupils in the years below me with enjoyment of using the Pool & Air hockey tables, but with money for them to spend on things they want to bring to the school too. 

We will also be using the money to almost renovate the canteen/seating area, into a more open area with the Pool table/s as well as the Air hockey & table Tennis tables, followed by soft seating around the outside of this and finally to large long tables for people to sit eat, and chat with more than just three of the friends, as well as being able to watch any of the games that maybe going on.

So between the 23rd and 24th of February, yes only a few weeks away, myself & Tjeerd Van Loon will be running from Fort William back to Glen Urquhart High School along the Great Glen Way, all 56.4 miles. 

If you would like to donate, whether it's big or small, any amount would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you
