We are 6 Ladies from West Byfleet Golf Club who are undertaking the virtual  London Marathon on Sunday 2nd October, on behalf of our 2022 Captains' chosen Charity - The Eikon Foundation. We will walk the full marathon distance of 26.2  miles (42.2 Kilometres) in our local area, using the official London Marathon App. We plan to complete the distance with a circuit of our golf course. 

The Eikon Charity supports children and young people to overcome difficulties, become resilient and develop into confident adults who contribute positively to their communities. Young People these days are so exposed to situations that negatively effect their mental health be it at school, at home, in their communities or online. Eikon provides support for them, early on in order to prevent their problems from becoming a crisis. We provide:- Youth Workers in the community and safe places where children can feel secure, build friendships and learn to thrive.- Youth Specialists in schools for children and young people to reach out to, or be referred to when they are struggling.- Resources for teachers and other professionals to help children learn to cope and thrive, no matter what life throws at them.

Founder and Chief Executive of The Eikon Charity, Chris Hickford MBE:

“We are only able to help the large number of young people that we do because of the support of kind and generous people. We are so grateful to the Captains of West Byfleet Golf Club for choosing Eikon as their charity in 2022, the club’s centenary year, and the fantastic members of the club for such wholehearted support.”
