Siblings Charity Fundraising Run

Year 8 student, oliver tyson, and his younger brother Charlie,
who is a pupil at Manor Primary School, set themselves the
challenge of running 100km during the month of March and
raised an amazing £770 for the Brain Charity.
oliver said, “I am doing this run because it is a great challenge
and it's good to get out. We chose this charity because our
auntie has the brain condition Chiari Malformation, and it's not
talked about that often; we would love to raise awareness
about it and get some money in for the charity.”
“I am so proud of the boys, they went for a run most days in
March, whatever the weather! they were determined to give it
their all, and they are delighted by the generosity of the donations they have
received.” Bev tyson, proud mum and teacher of Science at the College.
the Brain Charity aims to raise awareness and provide support for people who have
conditions like Chiari, as well as a whole range of other neurological conditions.
they offer emotional support, practical help and social activities for anyone with a
neurological condition as well as their families and carers.
