Woodham Academy student Tyler Veitch has completed a series of challenges as part of a fundraising process for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Malaysia.

The school is preparing to embark on a World Challenge experience to work and live with the local community, volunteer on a wildlife conservation project and complete a series of outdoor challenges.

Tyler completed a marathon swim over 26 days, swimming 1688 lengths.

He also completed 192 laps of Woodham’s sports hall, equating to a half marathon whilst dribbling a basketball.

“Tyler embodies Woodham’s core values of never giving up and aiming high to overcome these challenges and fundraise towards his goal,” said a school ststaement.

“Tyler has had an overwhelming amount of support from the community, his friends and family, and we are extremely proud of his determination and commitment throughout.”
