About

You may or may not have heard but Saavan’s Trust has embarked on its fourth project and this time it is a girl’s school in Zambia. To help raise funds for this latest build a group of us have decided to take on several 5K and 12K races.

Saavan’s Trust was set up to build schools in less privileged parts of the world in memory of Saavan Mundae, whose life was tragically cut short in 2017 at the age of 18. The charity reflects all that Saavan stood for – kindness, love and adventure. So far, the charity has supported the build of schools in India and Cambodia, a nursery for children with special needs in Ghana and now a girls’ school in Zambia.

First up Lianne Cooper, Fran Bayliss and her husband Chris will be completing a 12K race through muddy Essex on May 9th. There will be over 70 obstacles, a lot of running and way too much mud for our liking!

Sam Carrington will then be led by his two children to complete a 5K event on September 5th. He completed the run back in 2019 and his son Max did the junior version when he was just 12. Max has been begging to do it again and Sam, his daughter Polly, now also 12, and his wife Emma will be taking on the challenge for Saavan’s Trust. Always a glutton for punishment in the name of Saavan’s Trust, Fran will be joining them too.
