Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

'On Tuesday 28th June MTGS is holding a sponsored walk to raise money for the ‘Young lives vs Cancer’ charity which offers support to children with cancer and their families. The walk is in memory of Freya Kelly who sadly passed away in 2020 when she was in  year 8.

Freya was involved in many sporting events at MTGS alongside being a member of musical ensembles including choir and orchestra. She was very fond of literature and was always someone to turn to for inspiration and creativity. Freya had a deep love for animals and was always trying to look after them. She was a kind, caring and good friend, and everyone knew that they could turn to her for support. She was a positive influence in everyone’s lives and her resilience is a quality we all admired. Freya is greatly missed and her friends in year 10 still think of her often and remember her always.

We hope to gather lots of support in order for this walk to be a fitting tribute to Freya.' - Mayukhi Mittal 10G and Imogen Fleming 10M

'On Freya's behalf the family would like to express our heart felt gratitude to everyone involved at MTGS charity walk for Young Lives vs Cancer June 2022. 

The charity made a real difference to us and we will always be grateful to them for their kindness and compassion shown to our darling daughter Freya.

In the words of Theodore Rubin "Kindness is more important than wisdom and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom".

Freya would be immensely proud of her school, a school she loved so dearly and in so doing you help to keep Freya's memory alive which means so much to us.

For you see we miss her so terribly every second of every day that passes.

Thank you.' - 
Jane Kelly on behalf of Freya and the family.
