Story
Every 5 years, Marlborough College pupils undertake a 20 mile sponsored walk in aid of a range of charities. Each House at Marlborough will be supporting 4 causes for this event. 50% of what we raise as a House will go towards our chosen charities and the other 50% will be divided between the two charities chosen by the school.
Our charity rep, in conjunction with the whole house, has chosen to support ‘The Samantha Dickinson Brain Tumour Trust' and the 'Sanchat' which we view as great causes. Please donate generously because everything we raise will go to four amazing causes.
When donating please put the full name of the pupils who you are sponsoring in the comments box. This is so that we can get an idea of who is raising the most money.
Below is a summary of each charity:
Sanchat is a charity, started in 1990, which has already opened two schools one for boys and one for girls that have offered secondary education to over 2000 children. Its 'restart centre' aims to build a life of security, confidence and education for the boys.
The Samantha Dickinson Brain Tumour Trust is a brain tumour cancer charity for childhood and adult brain tumours whcih funds research and offers support for brain tumour patients
Lord’s Taverners is the official charity for recreational cricket and the UK’s leading youth cricket and disability sports charity whose objective is to 'give young people, particularly those with special needs, a sporting chance’.
Kempson-Rosedale Enterprise Trust is in memory of Rupert Rosedale, who died in an avalanche on Ben Nevis, and Mr Kempson who took part in Everest expeditions in the 1950s. Both were former Marlborough college teachers and great climbers. It allows students to carry out projects that fall within these two exceptional men’s interests.
