Royal Parks Half Marathon 2021
13 Jun 2021 - 30 Oct 2021
One Kind Act are proud present another new runner, Elliott Lyons, for our forthcoming event – LONDON LANDMARKS HALF MARATHON (LLHM 2021) - to be held on Sunday 1 August 2021. He will also be running in THE ROYAL PARKS HALF MARATHON being held in October 2021. The LLHM usually celebrates London’s grand iconic landmarks, its quirky and hidden history and gems. However, following the global Covid-19 pandemic, LLHM 2021 will be re-themed to celebrate the grand, quirky and hidden landmark moments of 2020, shining a light on how we have come together as a nation during this unprecedented time. One Kind Act are grateful to Elliott to have signed up to these two Marathon events to raise funds which can be used to help the destitute here in the UK and all around the world.Here is what Elliott Lyons has to say..........'It’s been a crazy 15 months for everyone, and I consider myself one of the lucky ones! I am still in employment, I am fortunate not to have suffered from COVID issues, my family are happy and healthy. But this isn’t the case for many others both here in the UK and overseas. So I wanted to pay it forward and support where I can. Therefore, I am running two half marathons (London Landmarks and Royal Parks) between now and the end of the year to raise money for One Kind Act. A fantastic charity that raises money to support those smaller charitable organisations that are often overlooked.One Kind Act became even closer to my heart when I lost my oldest and best friend to COVID related illness earlier this year. Aleem was an avid supporter and contributor to One Kind Act and, more than anything, I wanted to do these half marathons in his memory and support the charity that was so close to his heart.So I am reaching out to everyone to support by sponsoring me and helping me raise a significant amount that can support others who are less fortunate but also in memory of my friend, Aleem.Please support me by clicking the link below and donating what you can - every penny counts, and I can assure you your money will be put to good use.Thank you!'This charity run is a closed road, central London run and is the only half marathon to go through both the City of London and City of Westminster. Well-thought out, flexible and responsive measures will be in place to ensure that LLHM 2021 will be a Covid-secure event, where the safety of the LLHM community comes first.

One Kind Act announce their India Covid Appeal: Update - Grant Provided by One Kind Act 16 June 2021:With the devastation that this wave of Covid-19 has created in India, One Kind Act feel further compelled to continue to help and have made further new grants. This has also been made possible through generous donations made through our new sponsorship partnership with the Prideview Group. BAPs - £2,500 to provide medications for/subsidise Covid patients and to provide meals for them and their families.SEWA - £7,500 to provide essential PPE parcels and food and going forward, to support families affected by the loss of their main breadwinner due to Covid.Update - Grant Provided by One Kind Act 26 May 2021:As the situation in India worsens, we have ensured to work quickly to get the help where it is needed.

India is not able to cope with the sheer enormity of the problem as they face basic medical and oxygen shortages. One Kind Act feel an overwhelming sense of compassion to help in any way we can. We have worked very hard to connect up with a number of charities here in the UK, already poised to work on the ground in India to meet this crisis. So please support us with our INDIA COVID APPEAL for funds to support this crisis. The current dire need is for oxygen cylinders and concentrators in hospitals. The charities we are working with will guarantee that all procurement of such equipment will reach the end point at hospitals, where it is so desperately required. PLEASE DONATE HERE TO HELP FUND OXYGEN CYLINDERS & CONCENTRATORS AT PRESENT. For your reference, the cost of India-compatible Oxygen Cylinders start from £40 and Oxygen Concentrators start from £300. Your donation will be entirely used towards the purchase of the equipment, and not for any freight and distribution costs.PLEASE NOTE: Going forward and in the aftermath of this Covid Tsunami, the needs may evolve and the use of funds will change accordingly.About One Kind ActOne Kind Act Changes Communities and lives of others globally who suffer as a result of Poverty of Health, Nutrition and Education and may have Fallen Through The Net of the larger charities.

Secondly, it would be lovely to be able to deliver Christmas food bags to enable vulnerable families to have additional festive foods in addition to their normal food bags.Finally, we would like to continue with our Christmas bag deliveries to the homeless. These bags contain gloves, blankets, thermals etc as well as Christmas treats to make the season more bearable… whilst they continue to try to survive on the streets of London through the harsh weather conditions of winter. Please support us to help these Causes. Please pledge here, as follows: £10 to buy a child a Christmas present £10 to buy & deliver a bag of festive foods to vulnerable families £20 to buy and deliver all the winter necessities to the homeless.
