The 2018 Andy O'Sullivan 5k at Cowm Reservoir

Proceeds from this year’s Andy O’Sullivan 5k race at Cowm Reservoir in Whitworth will go towards raising money for a school building in Malawi, East Africa.

Former race organiser Andy is supporting the work of a Bolton schoolteacher, who is raising funds for the non-governmental organisation Chisomo Children’s Club to build a school in Bisa village, with the aim of providing education for all and keep children off the streets.

Established in 1998, Chisomo aims to provide a better future for street-connected and vulnerable children in Malawi.

The first of Andy’s own named races took place in 2018, organised by Andems Runners.
