A huge thank you to everyone who braved a chilly Spring day to complete the WFS last Sunday ( 5th). At the time of writing this important fundraiser has raised £3333 and we are confident of more sponsorship/donations to come.
Once again it was a great family day as 100 people (plus almost as many dogs) walked a 5km route that started at the Sean Devereux 6th Form Centre.
It was lovely and fitting that Brother Michael Delmer, Sean’s headteacher and biographer, filed the “starting pistol” for the walk that marked the 30th Anniversary of Sean’s death. We were also really pleased that Maureen, Theresa and Rosie could join us on the day.
Obviously we have a lot of thanks:
To those who undertook the “30 for 30” challenge
To our patron, Raquel Cassidy, who walked the walk on the day
To the school team, including the young team of marshalls who gave us access to the buildings and kept us safe on the day
To the Salesian PTA who gave up their Sunday afternoon to provide refreshments
To Laura Chatterton for her photos
To all walkers, sponsors, donors and other volunteers.
As a rough guide, £3333 can help to give a tear’s education to more than 30 children in Liberia.
What an achievement and one that really honours Sean’s legacy!
