Suzanne Dando

Suzanne Dando is a former Olympic Gymnast and sports television presenter. She has been appointed Vice President of the Children's Trust, helping to raise awareness of the charity's good work and services through fundraising activities and as a spokesperson. Her work with The Children's Trust has seen Suzanne run the London Marathon in 2008 with Alfie Russell, who received life changing rehabilitation at the charity following a road traffic accident at the age of ten. Her support of Alfie is on-going and this year she embarked upon a fundraising trek to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro with Alfie and James Topping, who also underwent a rehabilitation programme with the Trust following a brain injury in a road traffic accident. Suzanne's unwavering support of the young people who have received treatment at the Trust and her excellent work to help the charity are an inspiration to those around her.
