Three more legs for Silas

On Friday 12th June, 50 girls from Walthamstow Hall and 50 boys from Tonbridge School will be doing a 3-legged walk around the athletics track at Tonbridge to raise money for The Silas Pullen Fund. Everyone will be walking 10 laps in total (4km), walking each lap tied to someone different. It will test everyone's skills of co-ordination and communication and is much more difficult then it sounds - try it at home if you don't believe us!
Oscar's 11 year old brother, Silas, died in December 2013, 17 months after being diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour. After Silas's death, Oscar's family set up the Silas Pullen Fund under The Brain Tumour Charity with the aim of raising much needed funding for research into paediatric brain tumours. A young person has as much chance of dying from a brain tumour as they do from meningitis. In fact brain tumours are the leading cancer killer of children and young people - yet astoundingly less than 2% of national cancer funding goes into brain tumour research.The Silas Pullen fund wants to help change this and give other families hope.
Having read all about The Silas Pullen Fund on Facebook, Sophy and Beth really wanted to plan an event to raise money for this incredibly worthwhile cause. Together with Oscar, Ollie and Sam, Sophy and Beth have worked hard to make their initial ideas become reality, and hope that the evening raises as much money as possible, and that everyone has lots of fun for a good cause.
