In November 2005 14 year old Calum, our son, died after a short illness. Calum was a fantastic and energetic teenager who loved life - and loved sport. He was a good rugby player and a popular member of Moortown RUFC where he captained his team. He looked forward to his annual skiing trip and was a keen runner.
As a tribute to his energy and enthusiasm a scholarship fund was set up by Calum's cousin and Chief Executive of the Youth Sport Trust - Steve Grainger MBE. Steve kick-started the fundraising by running the 2006 London Marathon and since then other family and friends have joined in raising more money.
On an annual basis (until 2012) the Youth Sport Trust with the involvement of our family will identify a number of talented 14 year olds and help them achieve their sporting potential.
We have been involved in a number of fundraising activities including the Great North Run,a Sportsman's Dinner and a Grand Ball and have set up this page to receive any other donations. Friends have continued to support us with donations and the organisation of other events such as concerts,walks and bun sales!
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: Youth Sport Trust will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.
Many thanks for your support. Sandy and Eugene Johnston
