and now the "Run for Sean 2021"

Hot on the heels of our recent success at the Walk for Sean, 90 boys from year 7 at Salesian Farnborough took part in their Annual Run for Sean 2021.

Pictured below you can see below you can see eager runners sporting this year’s fashionable “Run for Sean” t-shirts as they embarked on this fun fundraising activity.

We are hugely grateful to Assistant Head, Mr Dalgas and the boys of year 7 for their time and energy in helping to maintain Sean’s legacy in the school where it all started. In the near future we will tell you how much money they raised by their efforts.

Walk for Sean 2021-a Fantastic Success!

A huge thank you to all those who both took part in the WFS 2021 and contributed in any way. At the time of writing we have raised £3500 and know there is still a little more to come.

Through your time, effort and financial support we can now commit to the refurbishment of the toilet blocks at Brewerville School. This small but significant step is vital in helping children to be educated in a healthy and positive setting, ever more important in today’s uncertain world.

This lovely video, received just before the Walk for Sean expresses in a joyous way, the gratitude of the school for the contribution that the Fund makes to the continuing education of children.

The photos below capture both the magic of the day and why we are all doing it!

All ages (and their pets) came together under an autumn sun to walk, talk and raise monies for the children of Liberia.

And just in case you missed out on the fun, this film from Mark Chatterton capture the day perfectly, including some wonderful dancing in this film!

Finally, if you would still like to help us, there are 3 ways:

1) Kerrie Young is in the early days of a mammoth sponsored walk of over 4000 miles for SDCF. She was there on Sunday and did another 5 and may still be going in a year or two but she would appreciate any contributions to support her endeavour. https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/KerryYoung11

2) The limited Edition WFS 2021 shirts are still available for £10+pp, just contacting us by email from this website

3) You can still start your own WFS 2021 or just donate at any time between now and the end of the year.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped make Walk for Sean 2021 a great success!

£8000!

From the rainy day pictured above back in late September, to a rainy day in September;what has changed?

The simple answer is that thanks to your efforts, over £8000 has been raised in our unique and virtual WFS 2020!

Great Support for "Walk for Sean 2020"

We have been overwhelmed by the great support of all those who have taken part so far and supported with donations…….THANKYOU!

There are still 2 weeks to go and we hope to raise a few more £s as various supporters continue to walk, row, run and jump all around the world.

One such outstanding effort was undertaken by Jane Moloney in the west of Ireland, who has walked many, many miles and raised £1000+.

There is no better way to sum it up than in Jane’s own words in the short film below:
