Story

I'm joining Scope's Lockdown Legends and taking on an epic fundraising challenge this February! 

I'll be skipping 3 miles around Wardown Park & back (with a lot of training needed in preparation).

Over 14 million people in the UK are disabled and they have been amongst the hardest hit by Coronavirus. Scope is needed now more than ever. Their services are seeing unprecedented demand, their helpline is providing a listening ear and their online community is keeping people connected through lockdown. The pandemic has been devastating for Scope. The charity has seen its 195 shops close, fundraising events cancelled and marathons postponed. During lockdown, Scopes income has fallen by around £1.2 million a month.I'm fundraising so Scope can continue to be there for disabled people and their families during the pandemic and beyond. Please support me in my challenge!
