Help Us Go the Distance: 8,025 Miles for Our Judo Club!

Our community judo club needs your support!

To raise vital funds, our members, family, and friends are taking on an incredible challenge: to cover 8,025 miles — the distance from The Budokwai in London (the oldest judo club in Europe) to The Kodokan in Tokyo (the birthplace of judo) — by walking, cycling, and swimming!

Every step, pedal, and stroke will help us reach our goal, supporting our club with essential costs like equipment, venue hire, and making sure judo stays accessible for everyone in our community.

Why are we doing this?

Judo is more than a sport — it’s about respect, resilience, and community. Our club gives children and adults a place to grow, learn, and thrive, both on and off the mats. But running a club takes resources, and we rely on support from people like you to keep going strong.

How you can help:

• Donate whatever you can — every contribution gets us closer!

• Share our story with friends, family, and coworkers.

• Follow our journey as we log the miles and get closer to Tokyo!

Thank you for helping us “travel” across the world and keep the spirit of judo alive for future generations!

A little bit more…

Help us keep our community judo club alive! We’re raising funds to support local kids, promote fitness, and teach valuable life skills through the sport we love.

Our club provides a safe and inclusive space for people of all ages to learn judo, build confidence, and stay active. But we need your help to cover costs like equipment, venue hire, and training for our volunteer coaches. Every pound you donate helps keep this club accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.

Last year, we helped over 50 children develop discipline, teamwork, and self-confidence. One of our young members, was struggling at school, but through judo, they found focus and self-belief. Your donation helps us support more kids within the Dunstable community!

Please donate whatever you can—every little bit helps! If you can’t donate, sharing this page with friends and family is just as valuable. Let’s keep our club thriving!

Thank you so much for your support. Together, we’re building a stronger community—on and off the mats!
