Teachers will do just about anything to support their students.

Virginia high school English teacher Kate Fletcher recently ran over 100 miles from Mineral, VA to Jamestown to raise college/trade school scholarship money for students, some of whom have sat in her classroom. She’s raised more than $120,000 over ten years in the annual fundraiser, but that’s not the only reason she runs.

By running over 20 hours at a time, she wants to show her students they can do anything they set their minds to – even when “they didn’t know they had it in them” – and that “people care about them.” Watch the whole school cheering her on!
