Month marathon for DONS Local Action Group
Our names are George and Edward and we are 5 and 4 years old. With our mothers we’re raising money in aid of DONS Local Action Group by doing a marathon over the course of a month. Our mothers and we will run, skip, jump, walk, cycle and even crawl 26 miles over the next few weeks! Every donation will help us keep going!
UPDATE!
DONS helps those in my local community across Merton, Wandsworth and Kingston to fight poverty and isolation. They provide food parcels, household goods, furniture and appliances, as well as laptops through their Keep Kids Connected initiative for children who need access to online learning but do not have the resources at home to do so.
Yet another lockdown has been tough for us all but particularly for those vulnerable to food poverty, unable to work or unable to take part in home schooling due to lack of resources. Sadly, much of this poverty is still a great issue even in our otherwise very fortunate Wandsworth. George and Edward would like to do a little bit to help and would be very grateful for any support!
More information about DONS Local Action Group: DONS is part of the AFC Wimbledon Foundation, which is a charity linked to the professional football club that uses sport, education and health activities to improve the lives of local communities across SW London. Its mission is to help our community pursue their dreams by improving their skills, resilience, well-being and confidence.
UPDATE!
George and Edward have upped their game! The boys are doing 26 miles each to mark 52 weeks Dons Local Action Group have been going, finishing at the AFC Wimbledon stadium to take a penalty against Haydon the Womble.
