Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

Hi Friends

 I’m Charlotte, 17 years old (18 in April 2010) and a full time sports student. On 25th April 2010, I will be running in the Virgin London Marathon for the charity Whizz Kidz. This charity gives disabled children the chance to live a more independent and fulfilling life by providing essential mobility equipment, support and advice.

 Your donation will change families’ lives for the better. 

 £90 could fund puncture proof tyres on a wheelchair so a child can travel outside their home and on different surfaces.

 £150 could pay for an assessment of a child by our expert Mobility Therapists to decide on the right piece of equipment

 £500 could pay for an adapted tricycle, which would give a disabled child the freedom perhaps for the first time in their life, to play with their friends and siblings in the local park.

 £1,500 could pay for a buggy, which will help a disabled child to become less reliant on others, gain greater independence and acquire valuable life skills

 £2,500 could pay for a sports wheelchair

 £5,900 is the average cost of a powered wheelchair

 

Training

I intend to update and inform you how I am getting on with my training!

 Its hard!!

 The snow and ice was disastrous (so ended up in the comfortable warmth of the gym). The furthest I have run so far is 23 miles, which took me just over 3h 30 mins (approx).  My aim is to complete the marathon in about 4 Hours.

 Calling any expert marathon runners - any tips or advice greatly received!!

 Thanks for your support
