In memory of John Peterson
This fundraising campaign will see friends and colleagues of the late Professor John Peterson traverse 500 miles (and maybe 500 more) to support postgraduate student learning.

Story

My brother was a brilliant academic, a loving and devoted family man, and a Red Sox superfan! 

I'll be running, rowing and walking 100 miles over the month of October to honor John's legacy, and his unrequited love for his team. 

All money raised through this challenge will go to the John Peterson Memorial Fund which will support a range of PhD studentships in the School of Social and Political Science, with particular focus on PhD study in areas linked to John's scholarly expertise. 

I know there are many financial strains and demands during this time, but any donation at all is appreciated, and will be an honor to his memory. Thank you.
