City Stars Aid Comic Relief Challenge

Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa joined Academy stars Hamza Choudhury and Toby Fura to help launch a 24-hour cross-trainer challenge at Guthlaxton College in aid of Comic Relief on Thursday.

The Argentine frontman linked up with Hamza and Toby at their old school to kick-start a gruelling challenge that saw members of staff walk the equivalent of the height of Mount Everest.
Hamza and Toby, fresh off their FA Youth Cup Semi-Final First Leg tie with Manchester City, took the first two slots in the challenge along with Guthlaxton College Principal Miss Sally Cox.
Delighted to be involved in the event, Ulloa told LCFC.com: “It’s been a fantastic effort from all the staff and the children involved in the challenge. It’s for a great cause so I’m very happy to help everyone.
“I know how much it means to young people to see players from the club that they support, so hopefully it will give them extra motivation to think of some more fundraising ideas.”
Guthlaxton College have hosted a number of similar events over the past few years, with cycling, rowing and now walking all helping to encourage youngsters and staff to exercise while raising money for those who need it the most.
Under-18s midfielder Choudhury, who has been in fine form for his side this season, enjoyed visiting his former school and added: “I loved seeing all of my old teachers, who haven’t changed at all! It means a lot to be invited back to my old college. Everyone was very welcoming when both myself and Toby arrived.
“Hopefully they can raise as much money for Comic Relief as possible. They’re a great group of people so I wish them all the best in reaching their target.”
