An uplifting appreciation post
Following a family bereavement Callum decided to set up a fundraising campaign for Cancer Research UK. Callum chose ’12 dips of Christmas’ . 12 dips in cold water was the target and Callum chose to do these in various places (with the support of his family) around Loch Lomond. He would do them at various times but mostly he would be up at 6.30am before school! Even on the coldest or windiest days he still showed determination and commitment. Callum’s final dip was on Christmas Day. His target was £150 and he raised over £1500. What an incredible amount of money
Callum’s family and our entire school community are incredibly proud of Callum’s achievement and Callum’s family are overwhelmed with the kindness and support in his charity campaign.
We are sure someone will be watching Callum from above and be bursting with pride
