Story

After months of training throughout the horible cold winter weather I will be running the London marathon on Sunday 25th April all in aid of the charity Whizz Kidz.

Whizz Kidz is a charity that provides disabled children and young people with much needed mobility equipment. This includes Powered wheelchairs, manual wheelchairs, sports wheel chairs, adapted tricycyes and buggies. Most of the equipment provided is not available on the NHS or other statutory services and is often very expensive to buy. Without charities such as Whizz Kidz many families simply wouldnt be able to afford the expensive mobility equipment and many children and young people would be deprived of the chance to live more independantly.

Whizz Kidz doesn't only provide the equipment but also provides advice, training and lifeskills to the children and their families. This makes a lifechanging difference to the children and their families lives. Disabled children are able to play sports, go to school, play with friends and simply mobilise around their home more independanly. So please please please sponsor me how, doesnt matter how much or how little it is, it will all help.

Many thanks
