The Sarum Hall Parents' Association have selected two charities to support this year and one of them is "The Little Jimmy Brighter Future Fund". The Shaw Family gave an inspirational and humbling assembly at school which prompted me into supporting them by running the Hampton Court Half Marathon on Sunday 15th March 2020. 

The Shaws lost their son James at only 5 and a half weeks old, after receiving amazing support from the team at Great Ormond Street Hospital. To help repay some of their incalculable debt, and nurture something positive from this tragic loss, they decided to set up the Little Jimmy Brighter Future Fund in honour and memory of their son.

The Little Jimmy Brighter Future Fund is not a separate charity, but a pot of money within GOSH's Children’s Charity that specifically focuses on vital life-support equipment. It started with modest ambitions but swiftly spiralled into an incredible legacy for Jimmy.

​They have now raised hundreds of thousands of pounds due to the love and generosity of hundreds of friends, family members and strangers. It is now my turn to try and increase that amount of money even further, with the help and support of the parents and pupils at Sarum Hall. Wish me luck!!
