Hi Everyone

 

For those of you who know me well, you may have seen me pounding the streets on a regular basis for quite some time now.  Running is one of my passions, and I have decided to put all the training to good use and run the London Marathon to raise money for a very deserving local charity.

The Percy Hedley Foundation is a totally practical charity focused on offering practical help and excellent support for people across the North East.  They help children with a range of disabilities, including cerebral palsy and physical disability, hearing impairment and communication problems.  Over 1000 disabled children and adults are currently enjoying a better lifestyle through their services including:  nursery, primary and secondary school education, respite and therapy services, a further education college, adult day services and employment, independent living options and a sports academy.

All my fundraising will go to help Percy Hedley towards their £1.2m fundraising target to build a new hydrotherapy pool which will provide invaluable benefits for disabled children and adults who have to struggle with the challenges of everyday life.  In warm water these restrictions are reduced, giving the opportunity for free movement, exercise and relaxation in a multi-sensory and fun environment.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
