The former Reaseheath College student took up martial arts after overcoming life-threatening condition acute myloid leukaemia as a youngster.
After the event, she said: “It’s been a very difficult challenge but I feel if I can get more sponsors it would be worth the pain for a very worthy cause!”
Organiser Chris Paines added: “Stories currently pouring out of Syria are of a humanitarian despair, a situation no living person should find themselves in.
“That is why I wanted us to react, in whatever way we can, to raise money to help these people.”
