Hey! How are you? Thanks for visiting the London Marathon fundraising page of the GFC “Fierce & Fabulous Four,” aka

John Hecklinger; 

Hayley and Freddie Roffey; 

and 

Shivonne Graham.

We all proudly work for – or, in Freddie's case, are married to someone who works for – Global Fund for Children. And, on October 2, we are all taking part in the London Marathon. That’s 26.2 miles (42 km) from Greenwich, around the streets of London, to The Mall. 

 We would LOVE you to sponsor our team to make the miles and miles and months and months of training (in heatwaves and downpours), sweating, chafing, swearing, and Strava-checking even more worthwhile. 

 AND get this … one of our wonderfully supportive and generous Board members has pledged to MATCH, POUND FOR POUND, every single donation we receive!

 How incredible is that? We are so grateful to our Board member.But it means we ALL have to finish – and there’s no going back!

 We are raising money for Global Fund for Children’s critical work. Because, like the organization we work for, we all believe passionately in the infinite potential of children and young people.

 This is what GFC is all about:

Global Fund for Children (GFC) partners to build a world where all children and youth enjoy equal resources and opportunities in society and live free from violence, discrimination, and exploitation. To that end, GFC invests in innovative local organizations, helping them deepen their impact and build their capacity for social change. Together, GFC and its partners advance the rights of children and youth facing poverty and injustice and equip them with the tools and skills to reach their full potential. 

 Since 1997, Global Fund for Children has invested $51 million in more than 900 organizations, reaching 11 million children and youth worldwide.

 We’re using JustGiving for our fundraising page. It’s simple, fast, and totally secure. So no excuses – or not technical ones anyway! ;-)

 Your details are safe with JustGiving; they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to Global Fund for Children. So, it's the most efficient way to donate, saving time and cutting costs for GFC.

Thank you so, so much for visiting our page. We are so grateful for anything you can give, at this crazy time when everything is tight – not least our hamstrings. So if you can’t sponsor us, that’s of course no problem, but please help us spread the word!

 Please visit GFC’s website, discover ways to get involved, and share the incredible work of GFC and our partners, making sure that all children and young people can live a life that celebrates and supports their potential! 

Thank you 🙏 

– John, Hayley, Freddie and Shivonne
