Good luck to Andy and Jason in the Banger Rally Challenge and raising funds for JMOT. This trip is totally self-funded, so let’s help them raise lots of money. Any donation big or small gratefully received via Virgin Money Giving.

October was an active month with three running events and an awesome sky-dive, all to raise funds for JMOT. We are really grateful to these lovely people for getting out of their comfort zones in support of our charity! So here are the name checks along with our thanks…
We had a great team from Plymouth University, comprising Lisa Rowe, Suzanne Robinson, Bridie Kent, Ruari Cassidy, Jennie Aronsson, Hannah Ames and Anna Chick. Thanks to you all and to Plymouth University for the kind sponsorship.
Emma Fox smashed out 13.1 miles around Truro. A fantastic run – thanks Emma!
Not only was Bridie Kent one of the Plymouth University team running in the Plymouth 10k race earlier this month, she also ran the 26.2 miles of Dublin Marathon for JMOT. Awesome! We are so grateful to Bridie for her support and also congratulate her on such a great achievement.
Anna successfully completed her Snowdon challenge. In doing so, with a very generous donation from Eva McDermott, a fantastic total of £550 was raised for the Jacob Maloy Osteosarcoma Trust.
Thank you so much to Anna and Eva – we are really grateful to you both!
JMOT entered a team in The Watering Hole’s beach tag competition at Perranporth on the 30th June. The team was made up of some of Jacob’s rugby friends and teammates. Fantastic weather and further funds and awareness raised. Our thanks to all involved!
This year’s winner of the Jacob Maloy Prize, Megan Liddington, presented with the trophy by Wilfred at the Richard Lander Celebration of Achievement held in Truro Cathedral.
Megan was awarded the prize for her commitment and contribution to Performing Arts at Richard Lander.
We are placing these in various places across the County and hope that when the pebbles are found it might encourage more to visit our website or seek out our Facebook page.
Another great event on Perranporth beach, organised by The Watering Hole! Glorious weather and more hard work and generous donations from our supporters enabled us to raise over £700!
Thank you so much to all involved and particularly to Marilyn Job and Loz Braiden.
Pictured here is the lovely Pixie Lott with her Forever Jacob wristband! She was touched by Jacob’s story and keen to find out more about our efforts.
A whopping total of £771 was raised over the 3 days during Tunes in the Dunes. Thank you so much to all who helped our fundraising and those who gave so generously. We also spoke to so many lovely people who were interested in the aims of the charity and the plans we have for using the money raised.
Massive thanks to the continued support of Bob, Marilyn, Tommy and & Jamie Lee at The Watering Hole. Bob is pictured here along with members of the JMOT committee and some of Jacob’s former team mates.
Huge thanks to Camborne Colts who raised the fantastic sum of £300 for the Jacob Maloy Osteosarcoma Trust at their recent Presentations Night. Dave pictured here being presented with a cheque by Camborne Colts Chairman Roger Worden & Head coach Adrian Trewhella tonight, at the last social this season which was well supported by players, coaches and parents.
Jacob was a student at Richard Lander School in Truro. He is fondly remembered there as a popular student of a kind and caring nature, having a particular passion and talent for sport and drama.
The Richard Lander School is a keen supporter of The Jacob Maloy Osteosarcoma Trust and has set up an annual award in memory of Jacob. The Jacob Maloy Award is given to a student who has made an outstanding contribution to school sports or creative arts.
This year’s Celebration of Achievement was held at Truro Cathedral and saw the inaugural presentation of The Jacob Maloy Award given to Fred Snell in Year 10 for sport.
Fred is pictured here being presented the award by ex-student and close friend of Jacob, Wilfred Dymond and Andy Mansell, Trustee of the Jacob Maloy Osteosarcoma Trust.
Jacob’s parents, Bev and Dave Maund, said:
‘Thank you for this wonderful recognition of our gorgeous son and his contribution to Richard Lander School. We know he will be there looking down and feel very proud’
