Story

Its the dawn of the London Marathon, the event i've been training for since January. I have read and re-read all the lovely message in anticipation of the long road(s) ahead of me. A massive thank you for taking the time to visit my page and for choosing to sponsor me!! as you can see, everyone has been really generous and the we've reached the target but please, lets not stop there!!!

Over 200,000 disabled children and young people in Britain need the help of Get Kids Going! They desperately want special manual wheelchairs, trikes and other mobility equipment. Also another 50,000 disabled children and youngsters need sports wheelchairs to let them compete in their chosen sport - marathons, triathlons, tennis, athletics, mountain skiing, rugby, basketball etc.

Get Kids Going! also helps and encourages British disabled children to compete by supporting them with their sports; training, physiotherapy, travel, design and development of sports’ wheelchairs.

They provide personalised manual wheelchairs and trikes for children to use every day; at home, at school, and to enable them to play with their friends. They believe that all disabled children and young people should receive the right equipment to get them going!

So, please continue to sponsor me so we can do more!! And if you're free tomorrow (Sunday 26th April), come down and support the masses running the LONDON MARATHON (that's 26.2 miles or 42 KM).

Lots of love and thanks again,

Laura xx
