Bristol Half Marathon 2014 · 21 September 2014 ·

The Tommy Hollis Children's Fund is a fund for the benefit of underprivileged, sick and orphaned children in memory of our son who died in tragic circumstances. As parents who have lost a child we would like to give loving care to children, in particular those without parents. We will be working with other charities who provide this support in the most direct way possible in order to ensure that help reaches those who most need it.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 23rd February 2010, my nephew, Tommy Hollis, was crushed when a lamp post fell on him as he slept in his pram waiting to cross the zebra crossing outside Chiswick Town Hall.  He died in hospital two days later, one day before his first birthday. 


Tommy was a happy, smiley boy who spread joy to everyone he met. In February, he would have celebrated his 5th birthday - a milestone for any child. He no doubt would have been enjoying the summer holiday with his two younger brothers whom he never met.


The Tommy Hollis Children's Fund was set up in his honour to spread the joy he gave those whose lives he touched. The charity raises money primarily for the benefit of underprivileged, sick and orphaned children.


On 21st September, I'll be running the Bristol Half Marathon in support of the charity. The fund grants money to existing charities that work with children. It aims to target those charities where its help is most needed to provide:

  •  immediate care
  • ongoing support for children and their families
  • support in bereavement.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
