Story

We all probably take for granted being able to pop to the gym, play tennis or go for a run.... because we can! 

This year I am running the London Marathon 2018 eeeekkkkk!!! I’m raising money for an amazing charity called Get Kids Going this charity helps children and young adults with disabilities get into sport and gives them the ability to experience the same enjoyment and highs unique to sport, not only for fun but also at an olympic standard!

Specialised equipment and wheelchairs are VERY expensive so it’s my aim to raise as much as possible for this worthy cause!

YOUR DONATION CAN HELP SUPPLY CHILDREN WITH:

£100 - This could buy a pair of kids racing gloves
£250 - This could buy a speedometer and two push rims to keep the kids racing
£500 - This could buy two wheels for a lightweight sports wheelchair
£1000 - This could buy the frame of a sports wheelchair
£2000 - This could pay for half a sports wheelchair
£3000 - This could help pay for a disabled child's sports training and travel to sports events for one year
£4000 - This could buy a sports wheelchair for a youngster who dreams of being a Paralympic champion

There are hundreds of talented, disabled, youngsters who have the potential to participate in events throughout the UK and all over the world but receive either none or very little funding and are desperate to achieve their lifelong sporting dreams. With your help together we can turn their dreams into reality and help make them into sporting heros. I believe that all disabled and young should receive the right equipment to get them going. 

I can barely run a 5k at the moment, so if you would like to follow my progress and get weekly updates then please DONATE and keep your eyes peeled on my page.I would love it if you could be a part of my journey and donate for such a worthwhile cause.

Thank you so much.
