Three pupils from Bootham School in York donned their backpacks for a 35km hike to help people in some of the most disadvantaged parts of the world.
The girls, accompanied by their dads, completed the hike in only two-and-a-half days.
They raised £600 for the World Cup Legacy Fund, part of Coaching For Hope. They overcame holiday tourists and heavy backpacks as they hiked the Cleveland Way.
York-based charity Coaching For Hope helps communities in areas such as South Africa, Mali and Burkina Faso with football training programmes and social education.
