JJOG achievements

24 in 24

 On 21 and 22 July 2023, an intrepid crew undertook the formidable '24 in 24' challenge- walking 24 miles in 24 hours, with no sleep.  Over £10,000 was raised by this monumental effort in very rainy conditions.  A huge thanks to all those that walked (Emma, Tony,  Fenella, Pam, Clare, Cindy, Jill, Becky, Jaylynne, Caitlin and Poppy and all the ad hoc visitors that supported us on some of the legs) and helped on the day (Carole and Sandra). Plus, of course, thank you to everyone that sponsored us - it really helped us to put one foot in front of the other!).  This event was also successfully repeated in 2024.

SURREY HILLS PLEINAIR PAINTERS

 A huge thank you to Laura Ritchie and all of the generous artists from the Surrey Hills Pleinair Painters, who donated their fantastic artwork for the JJOG art auction.  A brilliant £850 was raised to help us fund an English language summer school for 60 Ukrainian children who have settled in the Surrey area.  Thank you so much to you all.

From White Lodge to Yala and back again...the JJOG Journey!

 

We walked and walked and walked.......


There’s 6,408 miles between the “home” locations of our 2 of our charity projects....or 12.8 million steps. Around 70 supporters completed the journey "virtually" of course and then carried on walking around the coastline of Africa before heading back to White Lodge in Chertsey.    THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED AND DONATED
