Two dedicated teachers have gone the extra mile—literally—by completing the Liverpool Half Marathon and raising an impressive £1,007 for a meaningful cause.

Sian Crompton and Danielle Edgson took on the challenge last Sunday in support of Alfie’s Squad, a charity founded by Carmel College student Alfie Fitzsimmons. Their achievement highlights both their personal commitment and the strong sense of community within the school.

Alfie established the charity after losing his father to suicide at just eight years old. Channeling his experience into something positive, he created a support network for children and young people who have been bereaved by suicide.

Alfie’s Squad provides a safe and supportive environment where young people can connect with others who understand their experiences. By fostering a sense of belonging, the charity helps reduce feelings of isolation and builds confidence among those affected.

With approximately 9,000 children in the UK losing a parent to suicide each year, the importance of such initiatives cannot be overstated.

The school community has expressed immense pride in Alfie for his inspiring work, as well as in Sian and Danielle for their dedication in supporting such a worthwhile cause.

Their efforts have not only raised vital funds but also helped shine a light on an issue that affects thousands of young people every year.
