We are running the Sydney City2Surf 14km fun run, from the city centre, to the sands at Bondi Beach.

As children's soccer coaches, we are eager to fundraise for children who wouldn't otherwise be given the opportunity to learn and play the game in a safe environment, build relationships and share Eamonn’s enthusiasm for sport. The Eamonn Morgan Trust is a charity set up by his family and friends in memory of Eamonn's dedication as a teacher, his love & passion for sport and as a coach to children.

The focus of Eamonn's trust is to support a Street Children's Shelter in Zambia, in partnership with 'Friends of Africa' - where children living on the streets can attend classes, play sport and learn skills that will help them to live on their own or reintegrate with their families. As well as the international projects, the trust also assists local sports clubs in the heart of the community where Eamonn grew up in Northern Ireland.

Adam first met Eamonn in 2012, when they both worked for Challenger Sports. Transitioning from fresh-faced newbies to seasoned veterans - they worked, travelled and sporadically bumped into one-another for a catch up. It was in June last year that we heard the news that Eamonn and his girlfriend Charlotte Sant tragically passed in a dune buggy accident in Qatar. The couple both worked for Challenger a few years prior to the accident and they continued their adventures together around the world. There's a parallel of similarities that bridge Eamonn and Charlotte's story to our own and it seems like a natural step to honour Adam's friend and raise funds in their memory.

We have challenged ourselves to raise $700AU/£350. With 14km ahead of us, it would be fantastic to know that as we complete each kilometre we have earned another $50. As the trust is UK based all funds will be raised in pounds sterling. If you can spare a dollar, pound, penny or cent to help us along the way we'd be very grateful for your contribution.
