This year RDA is excited to announce the partnership with The GB Olympians. Jo Jennings-Summers, Performance Mentor and spokesperson for The GB Olympians says “The GB Olympians are immensely proud to be supporting RDA for our Charity of the Year in 2019, as chosen by our President HRH Princess Anne the Princess Royal.”

“As Olympians, we are acutely aware of the huge impact that volunteers can make. Pursuing elite sporting aspirations or simply nurturing a love for a particular activity is often made possible only by the fantastic work done by volunteers.”

“In April our very own Mark Moore, who competed for GB in the Cross Country Skiing at the 1984 Olympics is running the 2019 Virgin Money Giving London Marathon for RDA. We also have a large group of members taking part in the London Vitality Westminster Mile in May, raising much needed funds to support the new RDA National Training Centre.”

Mark Moore said “I’m flattered and honoured to be given a place to run London 2019 for RDA, on behalf of The Olympians Association”. Being a cross-country skier (1984 Sarajevo) I am an endurance athlete, but the Marathon is a massive test for anyone. I did manage to complete my first run Marathon last year at Brighton, but London seems to be the one to do: so delighted to be there for RDA. I sincerely hope to raise as much as possible for the charity, and get through the run in a respectable time!”
