Once again the Bolton School Junior Boys took to the field
dressed in an array of colourful fancy dress outfits, in order to
raise money for charity in their annual Fun Run.
This year the boys were raising money for LivLife, and the run
was the first event in a series of events at Bolton School to raise
money for the charity. Football players, cavemen and cowboys ran
alongside ghosts, daleks, bananas and even Olympic torch bearers!
Joined by the Head of Junior Boys Mr Stephen Whittaker, and Mr Tim
Dickinson, the boys ran around the Senior School running track for
40 minutes. The pupils ran in pairs, one would run whilst the other
rested, and they were supported all the way by cheering
parents.
For the first time in Bolton School's history, all parts of the
Foundation, including pupils and staff, will come together to
raise funds for a single cause, culminating in a day of action on
Tuesday 10th July. In what will hopefully be a
record-breaking day, all pupils and staff will wear Masaai clothing
or red clothing to symbolise the Masaai, and undertake various
fundraising activities including a sponsored walk to Rivington
Pike.
The LivLife Foundation (www.livlife.org) is a charity set up
two Old Boys that provides free and relevant education and
vocational opportunities to some of the world's poorest people
through educational centres in Tanzania. You can watch a video
