Year 7 student Freddie ran the Junior Great North Run earlier this month and raised a fantastic £410 for the RNLI.
On his Just Giving page he wrote the following:
My name is Freddie Fawcett and I am 11 years old. I am running the Junior Great North Run and hope to raise some money for this fantastic charity. Having just moved to the coast and love being in and on the water, know how important the RNLI work to keep people safe. I would be very grateful for any donations no matter how small. Every penny counts. Thank you very much. Freddie.
Here at Marden we are very proud of Freddie’s achievements. Well done!
