Charity
We are the RAF's leading welfare charity providing practical, financial and emotional support to all members of the RAF family, from childhood through to old age. We help with issues from childcare and relationship difficulties to injury and disability, and from financial hardship and debt to illness and bereavement.
Please note Virgin Money Giving isn't responsible for the content fundraisers post on their pages, but if you see something you feel is offensive or inappropriate, please let us know and we'll look into it.
Alex Ford's (RAFairman) London Marathon Page
Hi, thanks for visiting my page. Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to The Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund.
On April 22nd this year I will be running the Virgin London Marathon - 26.2 miles through the streets of the greatest city on earth!
I am doing this to help raise funds for and awareness about the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund. You can read all about the work they do to help and support serving and ex-serving members of the Royal Air Force.
Please make a donation and help to support them AND me in my run on the day. Anything you can give through this site is very, very welcome - and let's burst through that target of mine of £2,500...(oh and don't forget if you are a UK Taxpayer to click on the GiftAid so the RAFBF gets just a bit more!)
Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
