David Rushmere is raising money for Canon Collins Trust

London Marathon 2025 · 27 April 2025 ·

Support our brave Marathon runners who raise vital funds for worthy scholars chosen by the Canon Collins Trust, whose only barrier to higher education and a rightful place in society is financial.

Story

I am running the 2024 London Marathon to raise vital funds for the Cannon Collins Trust, an incredible charity that is transforming lives in Southern Africa through the power of education. Since 1981, the Trust has supported more than 4000 talented individuals from 14 Southern African countries, enabling more than 100 scholars across 30 universities each year to pursue their dreams. There aren't just scholarships, they are pathways to change, empowering bright minds to become community leaders who tackle systemic challenges like poverty and inequality. Your donation will help build a more equitable future, funding everything from life-changing student opportunities to community projects, like building libraries and supporting grassroots initiatives. As someone from South Africa, I have witnessed first hand struggles by underprivileged communities, but I have also seen the incredible impact that success stories can have.

I'm incredibly excited to be taking on this challenge and pushing myself to the limit to make a difference. Every pound raised will go directly towards the charity. I believe in the power of education and the transformative impact it can have on young lives. With your support, we can empower young people in Africa to build a brighter future. Please donate generously and help me make a difference!
