Wombles Walk Fundraising Event

Hello,

I'm walking 20km on 30 April to raise funds for AFC Wimbledon Foundation because of the life changing work they do and to celebrate the 20 year Anniversary of AFC Wimbledon.

Starting on Wimbledon Common, where AFC Wimbledon held football trials 20 years, I will be walking 20km around the streets and parks of Merton ending up back at Plough Lane, so please give generously...

• AFC Wimbledon Foundation uses the power of sport to reach those I our community who desperately need help.

• Their coaches give young people new skills and show them what a brighter future could look like.

• They help those who are unemployed discover new pathways into work.

• They create opportunities for people struggling with their mental health to find support and they help older adults to keep active and tack loneliness.

AFC Wimbledon Foundation needs more funding to help people like A:

'A lives in supported living. A has no social life...the sessions at AFC not only benefit him in terms of spending time with his peers, but house staff have informed me that his mental health has improved dramatically since doing so. He had a lot of pent-up anger and frustration before. The exercise and opportunity to play football has helped him to deal with this.'
Thank you so much.
