UPDATE

Tim's family would like to thank everyone for their generous contribution.

Timothy MJ Walton Remembrance Fund has been set up at the Downing College in the University of Cambridge.

The College will use this gift for the purposes of establishing the “Timothy MJ Walton Remembrance Fund” which will be endowed and the annual income used for student support (including hardship, books, travel grants, course materials, vacation study and other financial needs relating to academic study) at Downing College (both undergraduate and postgraduate).





Timothy Mark Joseph Walton passed away on Friday, July 31sth 2020 in Manhattan at the age of 47, 3 weeks after a fatal cycling accident. 

Through the decades that Tim had chosen to call NYC his home, Tim had always maintained strong connections with his alma mater; whether through his many long standing friendships with his University friends, attending NYC based gatherings sponsored by other alumni, taking his US friends to visit Downing and Cambridge whenever an opportunity arose, to penning articles in their alumni publications.  He had always talked about his days at Downing with so much joy and affection. 

Unlike most highly vaunted Universities in the US, many of the individual colleges such as Downing at Cambridge do not benefit from a large endowment. In commemoration of Tim, we would like to set up a small scholarship fund at Downing, the place where Tim had achieved academic and sporting excellence and made lifelong friendships.
