Running for a cause: Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce CEO takes on the London Marathon 2025
In the bustling heart of Hertfordshire, the CEO of the Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce, Donna Schultz is gearing up for a challenge that goes beyond the boardroom and into the streets of London. As she laces up her running shoes for the London Marathon 2025, her mission is clear: to raise substantial funds for the Hertfordshire Community Foundation.
"A huge thank you to everyone who has kindly sponsored me so far for the London Marathon 2025," Donna says with heartfelt gratitude. "Your support means the world to me and to the Hertfordshire Community Foundation."
A personal mission
For Donna, running the marathon is more than just a personal achievement; it's a testament to her commitment to the community she serves. The Hertfordshire Community Foundation plays a crucial role in the county, addressing a wide range of community needs. From supporting vulnerable individuals to funding educational initiatives and community projects, the foundation's work is extensive and impactful.
"For those that haven’t, I would really appreciate your donations as I want to raise as much as I can for the Hertfordshire Community Foundation," Donna continues. "Every donation, no matter the size, will make a significant impact."
Training for triumph
Balancing the demands of leading the Chamber of Commerce with rigorous marathon training is no small feat. Yet, Donna remains undeterred. The dedication to her professional responsibilities and philanthropic goals showcases a unique blend of leadership and compassion.
Training for the marathon has been a journey of discipline and resilience. Early morning runs, dietary adjustments and mental fortitude are all part of the preparation. However, Donna finds motivation in the cause she supports. "Knowing that my efforts are contributing to such a worthy cause gives me the drive to keep going," she shares.
Community and beyond
The Hertfordshire Community Foundation is renowned for fostering social cohesion and addressing inequalities within the county. By providing grants and support to local charities and community groups, the foundation ensures that the needs of the community are met in a comprehensive and inclusive manner.
As the CEO of the Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce, Donna is no stranger to advocating for local businesses and economic growth. Under her leadership, the Chamber has been a pillar of support for businesses of all sizes, promoting a favourable business environment through networking opportunities, advocacy and resources.
Looking ahead
The London Marathon is not only a test of physical endurance but also a celebration of community spirit and collective effort. It is an opportunity to inspire others to contribute to a cause that has far-reaching benefits for the people of Hertfordshire.
