My Ride London - over £2,300 raised
Published: 17 August 2020
Lorna Votier, Development Director of The Victoria Foundation, and several supporters of TVF took part in My Ride London 46 on Sunday 16th August and have raised over £2,300 which will help TVF to go on making a difference to families and medical students. It was a great ride from Richmond Park, Roehampton, Putney, Wandsworth, Westminster, Vauxhall, Chelsea, Hammersmith, Chiswick, Kew, St Margaret’s, Twickenham, Bushy Park, Hampton Court, Esher, Kingston, Petersham and finally Richmond Riverside! A huge thank you to Doris, Mike, Julie, Tessa, Mark and Klaus and all those who so generously sponsored the team members.
How your donation could help
- £80 could provide a textbook for a medical student
- £250 could provide a toolkit grant to fund study materials and travel costs to a hospital placement for a medical student
- £550 could provide a trike for a youngster helping them to keep active, gain independence and reach their potential in these such challenging times
As with so many of the UK’s charities the COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on TVF's fundraising with the cancellation of events and the loss of income at a time when families and medical students need the charity most. Events like these are so important to TVF - if you would like to take part in a 25km trek in aid of TVF on 12th September please get in touch NOW - it will adhere to social distancing and you can do it on the 12th or on a date and time that suits you.
