So far this year, we’ve had a really positive response to our call out for more community fundraisers, with individuals taking on various challenges in support of the BDD Foundation!
A huge thank you to Joey Millburn for completing his extraordinary ‘Budgy Smuggler Trek’ challenge in support of the BDD Foundation. Joey trekked an incredible 52km from North to South of Dartmoor, navigating rugged and boggy terrain. This demanding journey, typically taking 12-15 hours, was a true test of endurance, and Joey’s determination shone through as he raised both vital funds and awareness for our cause. Joey raised an incredible £720 to support our core services. We’re so grateful for Joey’s commitment to breaking the stigma around BDD. Thank you, Joey, for your remarkable efforts!
We would also like to express our gratitude to our trustee, Dr. Amita Jassi, for completing her first half marathon this September in support of the BDD Foundation. Amita’s dedication to our cause was clear, as she trained and fundraised with passion, helping to raise awareness and break the stigma surrounding BDD. Her efforts not only supported the foundation financially but also inspired others in the BDD community. Amita also exceeded her target, raising an amazing £1225. Thank you, Amita, for your incredible commitment and for being a true leader in our mission!
