Story
We are Cahner and Ben Walsh. We are two brothers from Wilmslow, Cheshire.
Cahner is 14 and is in year 9 at St Bede's College. Ben is 12 and is in year 8 at Manchester Grammar School.
Our great aunt is headteacher of Divine Mercy Primary school. This is a primary school in Rusholme built on the site of the old Manchester City Football club ground. Some children at her school don’t have tablets/ laptops or computers. We think this is very unfair and would like to raise money to buy tablets for the school. The aim initially is to buy two tablets for the school but we hope to buy more.
We plan to run 120km over two weeks between us. We will keep a video diary so people know we have done it.
We plan to start on Monday 18th January 2021 and do the running over the next 14 days to raise the money for Divine Mercy Primary school. We are hoping to get as much sponsorship as possible. The dream will be that every child in the school can get one.
Please give generously and if you are in a position to donate a tablet to the school then please do so and remember #JogOnToLogOn

3 years agoHappy weekend everyone. We are still running and the weather continues to challenge us. Today was the hardest day so far. However, once we started running we soon were in the swing of things. Many thanks for your continued support. Best wish #JogOnToLogOn
