Therapies Unite works to improve the well-being, independence, integration and inclusion of people with disabilities living in Mexico. Our main aim is to support people who need help through the provision of skilled and qualified professional volunteers, dedicated specialist care, training and equipment. We work in deprived areas where poverty and limited medical care are a reality of everyday life. Through our support and professional expertise, we aim to make a long-lasting difference to people's lives while benefiting the wider community. All of the projects we run focus on empowering local people to set up or to develop existing services in order to help the local disabled community. As well as setting up and running our own independent projects, we also support the development of existing rehabilitation services at special needs schools, disabled children’s centres, physiotherapy clinics, elderly care homes and we also work with the local Government to improve access to therapeutic support, education and advice. We are always thinking about how we can make long term changes and through focusing on education and supporting local people we feel we are able to make the differences that are needed to help improve the lives of people with disabilities.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 28th May I am running my fifth (and quite possibly last!) marathon in the beautiful city of Edinburgh  🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 it only seems right to use my training & racing to do some good & I am therefore raising much needed funds for my friend & colleagues charity, Therapies Unite. 

Therapies Unite work to help people with disabilities in Mexico through providing specialist equipment, support & training. This small charity works in a very deprived part of the world and the work they do makes a real difference to improving people’s life’s.  please check out the website https://therapiesunite.com although running a marathon will be hard, it’s nothing compared to the challenges people with disabilities face on a daily basis. 

Despite having a demanding and difficult NHS job, another part time job and a young family, my friend and colleague Laura somehow finds the time to run this charity which she is so passionate about. If I manage to reach my target of £500 this would help fund aquatic therapy for children and equipment for disability sports team, amazing! I know times are tough for everyone right now but a small donation will make a difference 🙏
