His sporting talents are many representing at District and County levels however his love for running has enabled him to combine sport and service by being a committed supporter of Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research., Great Ormond St, London. Tom has participated in the Junior Great North Run on three occasions and has also been very proactive in encouraging his whole year group to fundraise too, including giving presentations about the work the charity does.
