Gina Long Biography
Gina Long MBE (born 4 April 1962 in Ipswich, Suffolk, England) is a philanthropist, entrepreneur, journalist, radio presenter and global charity campaigner. She was awarded a MBE for services to the charity sector in December 2015. She was made a Honorary Fellow of the University of Suffolk in October 2018.
In April 2010, Long launched the very first Sir Bobby’s Online Auction, a global fundraiser held in memory of her dear friend and former England manager Sir Bobby Robson. The two-week online auction, held annually until 2015, featured luxury ‘money-can’t-buy’ items from the world of sport, celebrity and lifestyle raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, Breakthrough Breast Cancer and other charities. The likes of Wayne Rooney, Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho have all supported the global fundraiser in the past.
She was a founder member of the Suffolk Breakthrough Breast Cancer group and in August 2015, Long and close friends celebrated raising £1 million for the charity. Long took the lead in implementing an East Anglian-based special events fundraising committee of the Prince’s Trust, chairing it for two of her 10 years and helping to raise more than £480,000, and later became chair of the special events committee of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice, covering Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and North Essex.
Long was awarded a MBE for services to the charity sector in December 2015. Long has raised over £5 million for charity and started her own charitable foundation in December 2015 to support East Anglian families living with cancer or a disability. The GeeWizz Charitable Trust was set up to create a platform to purchase much-needed equipment for children in Suffolk and Norfolk helping two specific groups – children and young adults with disabilities and those who are affected by cancer, either directly or indirectly, or those carrying out research into the disease, especially sarcoma and breast cancer. The GeeWizz slogan is #transparentgiving, based on the principles of transparent and accountable fundraising to ensure every donor and fundraiser knows exactly where their money is spent and how it changes many lives of those supported.
Gina Long is married to Andrew with two children and five step-children. The couple annually host the Classic Sports Cars by the Lake, along with a committee, raising substantial funds and awareness for St Nicholas Hospice Care. The community event includes over 800 vintage cars, attracting over 5,000 people and has become a renowned attraction every September, raising over £350,000 to date. In April 2017, Long was joined by close friend Lisa Lumley in completing the London Marathon to raise money and awareness for Sarcoma UK. She successfully completed the challenge, raising over £18,000 despite joking that she could barely run a minute when she started training. Long and Lumley were supporting the national cancer charity after her daughter, then aged just 23, was diagnosed with a Myxoid Liposarcoma in September 2013. Long has pledged to always fundraise for Sarcoma UK alongside her work with GeeWizz and other national, regional and local charities – in a mentoring and campaigning capacity – plus working with many families throughout the UK.
