Student Takes On 5-Day Ultramarathon Challenge for Breast Cancer Support
Emily Paton, a Year 10 student at Jersey College for Girls, is gearing up for an incredible feat of endurance. The ambitious young runner has set her sights on completing five 50km ultramarathons across five consecutive days.
This gruelling challenge, which will take place during the October half term next month, from Tuesday 28 October until Saturday 1 November 2025, is not just a test of physical endurance but also a heartfelt mission to raise funds and awareness for a local breast cancer support charity named ABC Jersey.
Emily's motivation for this challenge stems from her desire to support those affected by breast cancer and increase awareness about the disease. The total distance she will cover is approximately 250km, equivalent to running from London to Manchester.

The ultramarathon challenge is not just about Emily's personal achievement; it is also aimed at raising funds for ABC Jersey, a local breast cancer support charity. By sponsoring Emily, supporters will be contributing to the vital work that ABC Jersey does in supporting those affected by breast cancer in the community.
Emily's dedication to this cause is commendable, and her determination to push herself to the limit is truly inspiring. As she prepares to embark on this incredible challenge, we wish her the very best of luck and look forward to seeing her achievements.
