Leaving my bike at home

As you know this club is very dear to my heart, and relegation anxiety is NOT the way I would choose to end this season, the first in our glorious new stadium. Whatever, I'm doing the Wombles Walk on 30th April to raise money for the AFC Wimbledon Foundation.

The Club through the Foundation has always been part of its community in Merton Kingston and Wimbledon, using sport to help education, social inclusion and well-being. It was therefore was no surprise when from early on in covid, the Dons Local Action Group was helping those struggling. Immediately obvious were the food collection points at supermarkets and at the home matches. Not surprisingly given our team colours there has been recent practical support for Ukraine.

To raise funds, I've chosen to walk to the stadium for the last match of the season. The Wombles Walk starts on Wimbledon Common, where AFC Wimbledon held football trials 20 years ago. The route joins the Wandle Way and arrives at Plough Lane before the last game of the season, against Accrington Stanley. Yes I agree, not exactly a long way, but if you could send even tiny a bit of sponsorship for the AFC Wimbledon Foundation that would be much appreciated.
