Story

Whizz-Kidz transforms the lives of disabled children and young people by providing the right mobility equipment to fit their young lives. But the right wheelchair is just the start. Whizz-Kidz also provides disabled children with opportunities to learn new skills and have fun through wheelchair skills training, work placements, and our clubs and camps. The aim is to  reach all of the 70,000 young people still waiting for the chance of a full and active childhood, and a bright future.

I am taking on the Marathon des Sables, the toughest footrace on earth,  in 2014 to raise money for Whizz-Kidz.

This is a gruelling six-day multi marathon adventure in one of the world’s most inhospitable climates - the Sahara desert. The rules require you to be self-sufficient, to carry with you on your back everything except water that you need to survive. You are given a place in an open tent to sleep at night, but any other equipment and food must be carried.
