Dons Local Action Group https://donslocalaction.org/ has been providing food parcels, household goods, furniture and appliances to those in need in our communities since 2020. They also donate laptops through our Keep Kids Connected campaign for children who do not have access to online learning at home.

On 15th September, I was one of 75 Dons Local Action Group volunteers participating in the London to Brighton Cycle Ride.

Exactly 4 weeks later, on 13th October I ran the Chicago Marathon also to raise funds for Dons Local Charity. This came after completing in the London Marathon in April this year and last year where the huge support from family, friends (especially Wimbledon Park One Element Training Group https://www.one-element.co.uk/wimbledon-park , and complete strangers helped raised funds to purchase laptops and mattresses for less fortunate children in our communities.

I have been volunteering for this local community charity since it was created in March 2020 and I have every intention to continue to do so, including any sporting challenges to raise funds.(watch this space re NY Marathon 2025!)

Thank you for whatever you are able to donate 💛💙
