Meet Jonny!

Growing up alongside a brother with a learning disability gave Jonny a first-hand understanding of the impact charities like Chailey Heritage Foundation can have on families. Last weekend, he put that inspiration into action by completing the Athens Marathon in support of children and young people with complex disabilities.

Jonny chose to support Chailey Heritage Foundation because of both his personal experiences and his time volunteering at a school for children with disabilities.

“Growing up with a brother who has a learning disability has made me really appreciate the work done by charities like Chailey Heritage Foundation.”

Taking on the 26.2-mile challenge through the historic streets of Athens, Jonny raised funds to help support the education, care, therapy and opportunities we provide for children and young people at Chailey.

Everyone at Chailey Heritage Foundation would like to say a huge thank you to Jonny for his incredible effort and commitment. Taking on a marathon is no small feat, and we are so grateful that he chose to support our charity.

Although the marathon is now complete, there is still time to support Jonny's fundraising and help him reach his target. Every donation will make a difference to the children and young people we support.

Thank you, Jonny, and congratulations on an amazing achievement! 💜
