Event: Kent and Medway Walking Bus Group - Abseil from the roof of seventh floor Fisher Tower in the heart of, on 7 June 2009

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am attempting to raise money for 2 local Kent charities. The first, Kent Kids miles of smiles, which will provide days out, and create a covered play area with their share of the money raised. The money will also help with the general running of the charity which helps care for sick and disabled children.

The second charity is Kent walking bus, a concept that is the new, safe, healthy and environmentally friendly approach to walking large groups of children to and from school whilst alleviating school run traffic congestion.

To raise the money I will be abseiling down a 7 storey (approximately 100 foot) tower in Canterbury on June 7th 2009.


So please sponsor me now!

About the charity

Kent Kids Miles of Smiles is a Charity set up to raise funds to establish and run 'Footprints' a children's care home for the sick and disabled of Kent. Our aims and objectives are as follows: 1. To generally assist in the well being, comfort and happiness of Kent's sick and disabled children. 2. To provide holiday homes abroad for Kent's sick and disabled children.3. To establish and run holiday centre in the Kent area for sick and disabled childrenFootprints provides a home for 6 permanent children and 6 respite children 52 weeks of the year. During their stay with us the children's entertainment is centred around their choice of activities and capabilities, at the same time ensuring that their individual needs are met.During their stay each child is encouraged to develop self awareness and personal growth. The activity programme includes visits to the zoo, bird parks, farms, indoor activity centres, theme parks, historical attractions, beach, restaurants and swimming pools. We hope that although 'Footprints' provides fun place to stay for sick and disabled children, it also raises awareness in people that our children are no different from any other children in the fact that when 'sleeping over' they can participate in all the activities enjoyed by able children. A child is a child no matter what they look like, can or cant do, they all need the same love and attention that is provided for the children at 'Footprints'
