Hi everybody,

As many of you know, this year I decided to run the London marathon (my first marathon). To be able to secure a place, I needed to run for a charity that will sponsor me. From the different charities options, I wanted to choose one that is involved with children because I believe that every kid in this planet should have the same opportunities. What they do with their lives after is their own responsibility. But what responsibility can a child have when they have not had their basic needs met, they have disabilities, or they have not had the opportunity to have an education?

The charity I will be supporting is The Children's Trust.

The Children’s Trust provides care, education and therapy for children with multiple disabilities and their services comprise:

• Short, medium and long term residential care and therapy
• Residential rehabilitation for children with an acquired brain injury
• Community-based rehabilitation for children returning to home/school after a brain injury
• Special education for pupils with profound and multiple learning disabilities at St Margaret’s School
• Short breaks (either at our site in Tadworth or in the family home)
• Transitional care for children who are dependent on a ventilator or complex tracheostomy
• Hospice/ palliative care


Any donation will be very much appreciated. The process will only take a couple of minutes of your time.
