Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Our names are Ludo Gwyther, Dulcie Pendred and Will Fairbrother and we are raising money this summer for two amazing charities; The Huntingdon's Disease Association and the Young Actors Theatre Islington.

As we come to the end of a formative chapter in our lives, we wanted to mark the moment by challenging ourselves physically in order to raise money for two causes that we feel passionately about supporting.

In order to reflect the fact that we are asking for support for two charities, we are committing to complete two separate physical challenges. On Friday 24 April we will complete a half marathon run starting and finishing at Frensham Heights School. Then on Sunday 5 July 2026 we will be competing in the Tough Mudder Midlands 15K race which is an endurance event with 20+ obstacles alongside a 15K run.

We have tried to explain on the separate donation pages why we want to support the individual charities. In short, Huntington's Disease has affected our community here at Frensham Heights and we hope to show the strength of Frensham by standing together and helping a charity which provides essential care, training and advice as well as raising awareness and promoting research into Huntington's.

Those that know us will know that performing in various productions at Frensham has been a cornerstone of Will and Ludo's time at the school which has enriched their lives and all those fortunate enough to witness them in action over the years! We recognise that we have been extremely fortunate to be in an environment where creativity and expression is encouraged and supported whilst at the same time recognising that not all young people are as fortunate. The Young Actors Theatre in Islington offers opportunities to disadvantaged children to attend classes, workshops and cultural experiences in order to transform lives through creativity and performance. By raising money for this fantastic charity we hope that other young people will get the same opportunities that have meant so much to us.

We would be very grateful if you would consider supporting us with a donation to either or both of our chosen charities. We are going to be doing an awful lot of running and training between now and 5 July but we are determined to try and raise as much money as we can for two charities that are close to our hearts.

Thank you.

Ludo, Dulcie and Will.
