Children and staff will stride out in Tom’s memory

June 7, 2022

Tom and his father, Tim, took part in the first Brecon Beacons Night Hike in 2018

Pupils and staff at Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools will be striding out later this month to raise funds for a fantastic cause.
The Brecon Beacons Night Hike, organised by Cancer Research Wales, takes place Saturday 25th June, and is being timed so people will, hopefully, see a beautiful sunset from the summit of Pen y Fan, the tallest mountain in South Wales.
Walk for Tom is being organised by Tom’s family and aimed at those who cannot join the Night Hike; for people all abilities, wherever they are in the world. People can enjoy a walk over the weekend of 25th and 26th June to remember Tom and all those affected by cancer. Currently, people are registered in Wales, England and USA.
Both events are to help fund research for cancer patients in Wales in honour of Monmouth School for Boys’ pupil, Tom .
Tom was a quiet, considerate and caring boy and, and alongside his father, Tim, took part in the first Brecon Beacons Night Hike in March 2018, raising £700 for Cancer Research Wales.
Tom’s parents, Tim and Debbie, his two sisters, Holly and Emily, and the schools’ community have tirelessly raised funds for the Tom Walker Cancer Wales PHD Studentship for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia Research.
Registration for the Brecon Beacons Night Hike is £30 for adults and £25 for children. The £100 minimum sponsorship does not apply to Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools.
