Rag: charity and fundraising<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lsu.co.uk\/getinvolved\/rag\/\">Taking part in Rag<\/a> forced me to push myself to discover what I can do; including climbing Mount Kilimanjaro\u00a0and dog-sledding\u00a0across Norway and Sweden.

After joining the committee and building it up we had 15 strong members plus on and off members each session. When we hit 50+ members we became the biggest martial art society at UEA. I found out over Christmas that the club has continued to expand to over 60 members.
