2011 saw Donna break all records for her fundraising, raising over £50,000 for Jeans for Genes Day. By recruiting a 40 plus strong team to create the Donna Ida Team to run the adidas Women’s 5k Run held in Hyde Park.
In 2012, Donna is launching her very own Olympics with the Donna Ida Summer of Sport involving a 5k run in the beautiful Richmond Park, a gruelling 23 mile trek across the South Downs and to top it all off, a 65 mile cycle from London to Brighton. Hoping to raise over £30,000 for selected grants, Donna has no intention of slowing down in 2013 taking on Kilimanjaro to continue her commitment to Jeans for Genes Day.
