Both students and staff play an important role and work extremely hard to raise money for local, national and international charities \u2013 but who said fundraising couldn\u2019t be fun? Here\u2019s a cheeky peek at some of the fun and whacky fundraising events both our students and staff took part in. Enjoy, we did.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Mongolia Charity Rally<\/h3>\n<p>Last year, Baby Don\u2019t Yurt Me, a two person team made a real difference by travelling 10,000 miles to deliver a van to \u2018Go Help\u2019, a charity based in Mongolia.<\/p>\n<p>Charles and Nikki, two Loughborough students went on an epic road trip that wound its way half way across the world from Brussels, over mountains, across deserts and through rivers to the rugged expanse of the ancient Mongol empire.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Baby Don&#039;t Yurt Me - Mongolia Charity Rally 2015 short\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0IKUpw3wq88?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>2. Apocalypse<\/h3>\n<p>Students were able to put their strategies into action and see how they would fare under a zombie apocalypse. Students split into teams and did a 5k run across campus \u2013 their aim was to fend off the flesh eating zombies and locate the antidote. They then had to return safely to the Students\u2019 Union and see if they had been infected or if they were survivors.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-371-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/webvids.lsu.co.uk\/2015-16\/Entertainment\/Apocolypse\/Apocolypse.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/webvids.lsu.co.uk\/2015-16\/Entertainment\/Apocolypse\/Apocolypse.mp4\">https:\/\/webvids.lsu.co.uk\/2015-16\/Entertainment\/Apocolypse\/Apocolypse.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>\u00a03. Colour Dash<\/h3>\n<p>The first charity event to be held on campus every year by RAG, the colour dash is reminiscent of the Holi fest and involves a 5k run and lots of dry paint. It\u2019s a great way to get to know the campus and its lots of fun \u2013 so much so, that we have students from all years coming back for more!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2016\/04\/colour-dash-run-2015.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-381\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-381\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2016\/04\/colour-dash-run-2015-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Colour Dash 2015\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2016\/04\/colour-dash-run-2015-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2016\/04\/colour-dash-run-2015-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2016\/04\/colour-dash-run-2015-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2016\/04\/colour-dash-run-2015-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2016\/04\/colour-dash-run-2015-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2016\/04\/colour-dash-run-2015-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2016\/04\/colour-dash-run-2015.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>4.

This might sound mad, but it\u2019s great way to raise lots of money for charity.<\/p>\n<p>Those who sign up &#8211; and trust me, there are lots \u2013 find that it\u2019s not just their nerves which are tested.
