Jonathan Skeete did a lot for his community in a short lifetime. Thanks to those who have kept this run going to keep his memory alive. And thanks to Charlie Sheppard for the photos and the brief report.
Hi Chris,
The Jonathan Skeete Memorial Fun Run was a success with over 85 runners and walkers. Here are some photos. Again, thanks to the runners and walkers who showed up and made this a fun event. Special thanks to Bernadette and Stephen who took care of the times for all who participated and thanks to Kathy Sparling for pitching in.

I would just like to thank those who named the Fun Run after Jonathan Skeete and the volunteers who make it happen. I used to live in Sydney and met Jonathan when he was in high school. As a grade 12 student he was managing sports teams for youth. The young people were close to him and trusted him even if they were no longer in school. I met Jonathan on a few occasions while he worked at Devco after he graduated from university. His motivation for everything was very simply to help the community and advance the conditions of people in the region. It is encouraging to see that he has inspired others.
