Be More Like Olivia Colour Run
About
On Saturday 21st June 2025, Friends of Brookside, in special collaboration with 2Wish and “Be More Like Olivia,” will be hosting an exciting Colour Run at Brookside Academy!
We have chosen to support 2Wish as our charity for this event because it is close to the hearts of many in our Brookside community. By raising funds and awareness, we hope to help ensure that bereaved families continue to receive the vital support that 2Wish provides. Back in
October 2023, Mrs Foster's (Brookside Teacher) little girl, Olivia, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, aged 15 months. Mrs Foster says "we will be forever grateful for the time we had with Olivia as she was such a bundle of fun; we are thankful that she only ever knew fun, love and happiness in her life. We try to live our lives by the phrase "Be More Like Olivia". It means trying to find positives in life, enjoying the time you are given and supporting everyone."
The charity we are raising for are 2Wish who provide support for those affected by sudden death in young people. https://www.2wish.org.uk/england/
Rebecca Foster says "2wish have been a lifeline to me and my family. When Olivia died, therewas a lack of support and we felt completely alone. When we found 2wish we felt as though someone was offering a hand to pull us up; we are extremely grateful for the kind, caring and
professional support we have received from 2wish ever since"
Take part and join us for the colour run!
