Run for Redfern: 5k Charity Run…

The Adam Redfern Memorial Fund has been established to give aspiring students with a flair for media, journalism and sport the opportunity to study at DMU and make the most out of their time here before they go on to fulfil their career ambitions.

The fund is in memory of much-loved DSU colleague, Journalism alumnus and fitness enthusiast, Adam Redfern, who died suddenly of a cardiac arrest while out jogging in March 2021, aged 28.

Donations will enable ambitious students to pursue Adams passions and will help to boost their career opportunities with the support of the university through dedicated scholarships, bursaries and monetary awards.

Run for Redfern is a celebration of Adam in the shape of a run. Bringing everyone that knew and loved Adam together on a day when we will all be thinking about him. Raising funds for The Adam Redfern Memorial Fund. Anyone can get involved no matter where you are or how much you can run!
