My Story

My name is Flynn Orchard and I am a Year 13 student at Hollyfield. I have attended Hollyfield since Year 7 and have had a great 7 Years.  I will be raising money for school with a focus on encouraging the current students to be more active and funding the P.E department.

At Primary School, I competed in park runs and cross country events but this time last year I had not gone for a run in over eight years. My close friends were all running for pleasure but I had chosen to focus on other sports such as climbing and table tennis. During a Hollyfield camping trip last Summer, I went on one run, two days later I did another 5km run and have not stopped running since that day. I made it a personal challenge to run everyday. I run at least 5km and have joined up to all the free local running clubs, I run alongside friends as they cycle and take part in the local Park Runs. Hollyfield got me back into running and I could not be more grateful as it has changed me both physically and mentally.
