Hi to all

Having secured places in the London Marathon for 2010 - Jane and I thought it would be good for our training motivation to send out this e-mail early in the year. Personally speaking, going for long runs in these Arctic conditions is extremely appealing - that is why I haven't begun training yet...

Anyway, we hope you would be kind enough to sponsor us; our charity Get Kids Going! does fantastic work by providing personalised manual wheelchairs and trikes for children of all disabilities to use every day; at home, at school, and to enable them to play with their friends. 

Did you know...Over 200,000 disabled children and young people in Britain need the help of Get Kids Going! They desperately want special manual wheelchairs, trikes and other mobility equipment. Also another 50,000 disabled children and youngsters need sports wheelchairs to let them compete in their chosen sport.

The cost of a sports wheelchair is about £3,000. A lightweight manual wheelchair is around £2,000 and a trike £800. All are designed individually, and perform... just like a Formula 1 Racing Car!
