Run with Mr. P
42.2 kilometres. One Principal. One school’s future.


The story
On 26 April 2026, Mr. Pallister — Principal of South Eastern College in Chiredzi — will take on one of the world’s most iconic races: the London Marathon. He will run 42.2 kilometres not for personal glory, but for every student who walks through the gates of our school.
South Eastern College has long been a place of ambition and opportunity for young people in Chiredzi. But our swimming pool and water treatment facilities need urgent upgrading — and this campaign is how we get there. Every dollar raised goes directly into improving the facilities our students train, compete, and grow in.
This is a Principal who leads from the front — literally. Now we need you to back him every step of the way.
