When members of SWSG19, NWSG19 and ISWG19 got together to sponsor Johnnie Jackson and Hannah Billingham once again this year, the scheme proved so popular that they raised too much - with #WAWF benefitting to the tune of £80.
Thanks for the generosity, guys.

Thank you SOOO much to everyone who sponsored me to run yesterday’s New Forest Marathon. It wasn’t fast or pretty, but I got round - and that’s £225 to #WAWF
If you fancied popping a £ in to compensate me for loss of feeling in my knees, there’s time… :)

What fresh hell is this - training for a marathon in 15 days?!

Yes it’s been a sub-optimal summer on the fitness front, but I’m hoping to raise a few ££ for #WAWF (wearewimbledonfund.com) in the process.

If you find a pound down the back of the sofa…

So a few of our fans got together to back the Dons over the weekend - with #WAWF reaping the reward.

Each pledged £1 per shot on target, £2 a goal and £3 for a win - meaning Saturday’s win over Reading raised almost £100 towards the first team playing budget.

Thank you! 💛💙

See wearewimbledonfund.com to find out more about how the owners of AFC Wimbledon are coming together to boost the first team playing budget.
Just 2,000 fans contributing £10/month could give Johnnie an extra £100k to spend in January.

So I just signed up to @GreenpeaceUK 31 Miles For Nature challenge - and I’m looking for sponsorship. Again.

As a muesli-knitting treehugger, I love the work Greenpeace do.

I’m also well out of shape so FML.

Any spare £££s would be amazing. x

This October, I’m moving 31 Miles for Nature to raise money for Greenpeace. Every donation - no matter how small - will count towards Greenpeace’s mission to create a greener, healthier, more peaceful...

Oh crap, yes, thanks. That was bugging me

MisterGLS @mistergls.bsky.social · Jun 17

Thanks for having me on guys @sameoldwombles.bsky.social
If you’re not sick of the sight/sound of me asking for money, we talk about a scheme to put more £££ on the pitch as we take on League One (that bit is 45m on). Have a listen, let me know what you think www.sameoldwombles.com/summer-seaso...

“These moments are why we compete - to win. It’s the reason for the sacrifices, the mental and physical strain and all the hours of preparation. It’s important to celebrate these moments”

Superb words from Ryan Johnson

Paint it on the walls at Plough Lane!
