Brett Saunders to run from John O'Groats to Land's End

In September, Brett Saunders (Craig and Wargrave 2005-10) is attempting his biggest challenge yet by running from John O'Groats to Land's End. He is hoping to achieve this in 16 days, which means running 55 miles a day. His support team includes Tom Evans (Wargrave 2005-10), who has a huge amount of experience in taking on extreme challenges. 

Brett is running in memory of Tom Sibree (Pennell 2003-04), who died in 2015 from Sudden Unexplained Death from Epilepsy (SUDEP), and is raising money for SUDEP Action. This is a charity that provides bereavement support for families who have lost someone, raises awareness of the risk that all epilepsy sufferers are at, and researches ways of preventing deaths from happening. 

Tom is a member of a family that has had three generations of family members at the College, including his grandfather Peter Sibree (Crosby 1938-42), father David (Pennell 1969-74) and brothers James (Pennell 2001-06) and William (Pennell 2005-10). Although Tom was only at the College for a short time, he was very proud to be able to call himself an OE. 

Tom's father David is a trustee of SUDEP Action, so has first-hand experience of the wonderful work that the charity does. Both the charity and the Sibree family are very proud of Brett's continued support, as he has previously undertaken a number of other endurance runs in Tom's memory.
