Donna gets her fundraising kicks on Route 66
T
he fi nance director of farm machinery manufacturer Grimme UK has set off on
a charity challenge – aiming to walk, ride and run the distance of Route 66.
Donna Hall hopes tackling the 2,278 mile route virtually will raise more than £2,278 for the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (RABI) and You Are Not Alone (YANA), both of which support agricultural workers. One of the most famous roads in the United States, Route 66 originally ran from Chicago, Illi- nois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexi- co, and Arizona ending in San- ta Monica in Los Angeles Coun- ty, California. Ms Hall saw it as the per-
fect charity challenge when she heard about the Route 66 virtu-
al challenge on the website End-
ToEnd.run. She aims to complete the challenge well within the sug- gested two-year target. “Due to COVID-19, charities all over the UK have seen a signif- icant fall in their donations, and UK farming charities are no ex- ception,” says Ms Hall. “I know that by raising money for RABI and YANA, we can make a big dif- ference to those who desperate- ly need help.
Mental health “Extreme weather, illness, ac- cidents, bereavement, fi nancial problems and much more often lead to severe hardship and all too often issues with mental health. It’s reassuring to know that when this happens, they are both there to provide essential help and sup- port.”
RABI is the oldest agricultur-
al charity in the UK, dating from 1860 and provides fi nancial sup- port, practical care and guidance to farming people of all ages, in- cluding farmers, farmworkers and dependants. Founded in Norfolk in 2008,
YANA helps people in farming affected by stress and depres- sion. It has since expanded into Suffolk and Worcestershire and also offers confi dential support via its telephone helpline – 0300 323 0400.
