Please will you help me to help disabled children who are unable to walk let alone run! On Sunday 17th April 2011, I will be running the Vifgin London Marathon for Get Kids Going! This is a wonderful charity that helps British disabled children and young people by providing them with personalised sports wheelchairs and lightweight manual wheelchairs so they are able to participate in all kinds of different sports and play out with their friends.
I know running 26.2 miles is not going to be easy. It will be tough, painful and tiring - in fact when I finish I will be exhausted! But that's nothing compared to what disabled children have to put up with every day of their lives.
Please help me to help them by sponsoring my efforts for Get Kids Going! by giving a kind donation. If everyone just gave me £26 it would make a fantastic difference to a disabled child's life.
If I raised £3000 it could provide a child or young person with a sports wheelchair so, one day, they could do the Virgin London Marathon too! If I raised £500 or more it could help provide a disabled child with a sports grant so they could play their favourite sport for one year!
Over 200000 disabled children and young people in Britain need the help of Get Kids Going! The charity receives no government funding and yet a further 20000 disabled children need sports wheelchairs so they can compete in Summer and Winter sports such as; Marathons, Rugby, Athletics, Tennis, Cricket, Skiiing and many more. Get Kids Going! is a modern, dynamic charity that helps local children throughout Britain. The charity's president is Sebastien Coe OBE and Vice President is Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson DBE OBE.
I have pledged to raise as much as I can for Get Kids Going! I can assure you they need every penny. Please will you help me turn dreams into relality for disabled children and youngsters by giving a donation. It doesn't matter how large or small - it will all be so gratefully received.
Thank you so much,
Dan!
