Maths student and Bath Jets cheerleader Kate Rodger has reached the final of Miss University, a nationwide beauty pageant which aims to raise money for the Joshua Foundation, a charity which provides holidays and event tickets for children with terminal cancer. Ms Rodger will be one of nineteen students from British universities taking part in the event, which will take place in Oceana nightclub in Cardiff on March 1st, and will feature three rounds in which competitors pose on a catwalk in various outfits. The winner will receive a cash prize, trips to Australia and Finland and a chance to compete in the ‘Miss UniverseGB’ [sic] pageant in May this year.
Ms Rodger told us “I'm really nervous about the final event, when I have time to think about it, as the fundraising is consuming most of my time. It's quite exhilarating having to do it all in just twenty eight days, and as the final date gets closer I'm getting more excited about it, and more worried that I won't raise enough!” She is hoping to raise £1,000 through a sponsored 24 hour silence and cake sales, which will be held on campus. Those wishing to vote for Miss Rodger should text ‘catriona rodger’ to 81118 or call 09012 937950 on March 1st.
