Only 5 days to go and Reo’s warriors will be at the start line of the Parish once again.

Like every year we pick a charity which is close to Reo and Reo’s family. So this year we have chosen Singing Jo & Co

As most of you are already aware, my nephew Reo was born blind, but people like Singing Jo do their upmost to make sure he leads as normal life as possible.

Jo is as absolute singing legend which if you have children or grandchildren we all know her sessions are amazing for children, but it is ran off charitable donations.

So please everyone no matter how little or small let’s make other children’s faces smile as much as our gorgeous Reo is here.

Thank you & Good luck to all the Parish walkers xxx

What is Singing Jo & Co and how can you help to ensure this “Learning and Laughter through song” continues?

Singing Jo & Co is a small non profit making charity which supports Early Learning across the whole of the Island through singing, dancing, rhymes, music and drama. The lively action sessions are enjoyed by 600 children, babies and toddlers each week, supported by their parents, grandparents, and carers and the team also provide friendly support for parents and carers to help develop relationships, make new friends and to give confidence in supporting their young learners.

We provide a unique service where sessions are free of charge and funded by sponsors and donations from those taking part. Nobody is ever turned away. The Judges from the Isle of Man Newspaper Awards for Excellence 2018 and 2019 said: “Provides valuable preschool learning and positively impacts on children’s development” and “Jo brings passion and energy to the sessions where children learn.
