Students from Witchford Village College, Ely College and Littleport and East Cambs Academy and Thomas Clarkson Academy, in Wisbech, all joined forces.
It was all in aid of Cambridgeshire based cancer awareness charity The Malcolm Whales Foundation.
The charity was set up by Damien Whales in memory of his late father, Malcolm, who died after a battle with bowel cancer in 2008.
In total, 681 students from six different schools in the East of England took part, raising the money in just one day.
