Linda runs the world to make a world of difference

Updated List of Linda's Charity Races:

Hello!

I’m Linda, a 30 year old from Venice, Italy, living in London, UK.

In 2022, I had the opportunity to volunteer in the Kibera Slum in Kenya, where I built strong friendships and relationships with the local community.

I never stopped supporting them and decided to find new ways to raise money for charity. That’s why I’ve started running races around the world.

I helped establish the Acts of Compassion Foundation (https://aoc-foundation.org/index.php), a registered charitable organization that offers a wide range of life-enriching opportunities, including volunteering, internships, and mission trips in Kenya. This initiative helps empower Kenya's poorest and most disadvantaged communities, born with very little opportunity, to drive their own development and build sustainable, prosperous societies.

Now, I'm running to further support their cause, beginning with a 10K in London.

Why did I decide to start running? I wanted to challenge myself. I've never liked running, so I'm pushing myself to embrace the discomfort and enjoy the process.

Every donation, large or small, helps. Your support will fuel my runs and assist the AOC Foundation's impactful programs.

The plan is to run at least a 10k this year, a half-marathon next year, and a marathon in 2-3 years, with a triathlon planned for 10 years from now.

Thank you for your kindness and support. I can't wait to see what we can achieve together!
