Why am I doing this? 

Being an Aston Villa supporter for many years, and being employed in the local area, I have seen firsthand the continued hard work of The Aston Villa Foundation on improving the local community. 

The Aston Villa Foundation is a registered charity (number 1152848) that delivers the community and social support work of Aston Villa Football Club. Working alongside key local and national stakeholders; the Foundation delivers projects, initiatives and provides opportunities to achieve its mission of ‘Working Together to Enrich Lives’. The Foundation and its partners, work with people from a variety of backgrounds in Birmingham as well as supporting the wider Aston Villa family through several departments. These departments include; schools, football in the community, disability, health and wellbeing, education, interventions and community relations.

Please help me with a donation as I embark on my first 10K run for a charity. It has been a challenge to train in amongst my other commitments, but I am determined to do this for myself and a good cause. 

Thank you for your support!
