RideLondon
The world’s greatest festival of cycling returned with a new route. Charlie, Tom and Richard cycled 100 miles from London through Essex and back to the famous Tower Bridge. Collectively they raised £4,126!
London Marathon
We had 3 runners in the London Marathon - Ovi, Proloy and Jo. They trained for over 4 months to get ready for race day. A huge commitment in aid of AzuKo. Ovi and Proloy ran 26.2 miles together in Dinajpur, Bangladesh and Jo ran in London, UK. They raised over £1,400 for AzuKo.
Virtual Bangla-Dash
17 extraordinary people + 2 dogs set out to cover 2575km, a virtual loop of Bangladesh. They ran, walked, cycled, swam all over the UK, US and Bangladesh, raising £4,132 to provide hygiene supplies for families in need. What a journey! See how they did it.
Ashbridges for AzuKo
In 2020 the Great North Run - the largest half marathon in the world - was cancelled due to the coronavirus crisis. It’s an important event in AzuKo’s fundraising calendar. The Ashbridges (Steve, Lynne, Beth and Jo) took on the GNR virtual challenge instead. They ran EVERY day for 78 days, raising £620 for AzuKo.
The 2.6 Challenge
Team 26x26 (23 people + 3 dogs from Hong Kong, Bangladesh, Italy, UK and USA) set themselves a target to walk/run/cycle 26 marathons. Not only did they reach it - they smashed right through it, clocking up 30.7 marathons for AzuKo. Their spectacular efforts raised £3,104 to support our COVID-19 work in Bangladesh. Read about their journey.
Beth Ashbridge
Beth joined 53,000 runners for the New York City Marathon. It kicked off on Staten Island, traversed five boroughs and ended in Central Park. She crossed the line in under 4hrs 30mins and raised a whopping £3,631 for our Heart of the home project.
“It’s an opportunity to take stock of how fortunate we are. I have the ability to give something back to those who find themselves in more challenging circumstances.”
London Marathon
We had two runners in the London Marathon. Justin and Tom ran 26.2 miles through the city on a sunny April day, alongside a record breaking 40,000 runners. Justin raised £1,404 to support our Build for safety training in Bangladesh. Tom raised £1,000 in aid of AzuKo and Whitechapel Mission. We cheered them on through Poplar!
