At 9am last Saturday, 20 students at Sheffield University were gearing themselves up for the first EVER Jailbreak Sheffield. The event challenges students to travel as far as possible from Sheffield in 36 hours without any money. Rearing to go armed with banana suits and hula skirts, the jailbreakers set off hoping to journey as far as possible by 9pm on Sunday.
Teams kept us in the loop via GPS tracking system and landed mostly in Europe, while one team managed to get on a plane and travel out to Asia.
Devvrat and Chloe, both doing their masters here the University of Sheffield made it all the way to Singapore and were crowned the overall winners of Jailbreak Sheffield 2014! A fantastic effort made by both of them and setting the bar high for the next set of Jailbreakers.
Another team, freshers Katie and Becky, won the fast-pass and made their way to Rome, Italy where they met the pope and visited the Trevi Fountain. The pair also managed to raise the most money during the event, a whooping £579 between them.
The event raised a total of £2083.51, and all proceeds go to fund our social projects. We want to thank everyone who participated and donated generously to this event, we hope to see you at our next Jailbreak!
