Virtual Virgin Money London Marathon 2021

After announcing how excited we were to have two charity places in the Virgin Money London Marathon 2021, we are delighted to confirm we also have three places up for grabs in the Virtual Virgin Money London Marathon and we would LOVE you to represent #TeamACF in the event. Click the button below to sign up.

The Virtual Virgin Money London Marathon will take place on Sunday 3rd October - the same date as the physical event - and it gives you up to 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds to earn a London Marathon medal and finisher’s t-shirt by completing 26.2 miles on foot wherever you choose! What’s more, by representing African Children’s Fund, you can raise funds to help children born into poverty go to school which provides opportunities for a more prosperous future.

What is the registration fee? £20

What is the fundraising target? £200

What do I get? We will send all participants an African Children’s Fund technical t-shirt and we will provide as much or as little help as you need to set up your fundraising page. We will be on hand every step of the way to provide you with training motivation and fundraising inspiration!

Where do I register? Just fill in this form and we’ll be in touch.

I’ve already got a place. Can I still raise money for African Children’s Fund? Yes! We’d love you to join #TeamACF. Please drop us an email so we can send you further information.

What difference does my fundraising really make? Brenda is now an Advocate at the High Court of Kenya and as a youngster, she benefited from our Kenyan Porridge Clubs programme. She tells us:

I learnt through this project that a little support goes a long way. Supporting people gives them hope, where there is hope, people can dream, and when people freely dream, they get vision and purpose which gives them a chance to be something.
— Brenda, former Porridge Clubs student

Each mug of porridge costs less than 10 pence so when you hit your £200 fundraising target, you’ll know you have helped over 2,000 children like Brenda receive a mug of porridge that helps them go to school that day. That feeling will surely help you around your 26.2 miles on 3rd October!

Why wait? Join #TeamACF today!
