Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
There are 66,000 children and young people with disabilities within an hour of Bristol, and over 1.1 million in the UK. 77% of them cannot access regular leisure facilities, so cant play, exercise or socialise in the same ways as their peers and are twice as likely as non-disabled children to be lonely. This leaves whole families in social isolation, with 72% of parents reported as coping with mental health issues as a direct result of social isolation. Children living with disability want more understanding and acceptance, more choice of activities, more motivation and encouragement.
This is where Gympanzees come in...
Their solution is a world-class play, exercise and social facility for children and young people with disabilities right here in Bristol. They need to raise £2.2million which will secure a building and fill it with specialist rooms and amazing inclusive sensory and exercise equipment. Please support and donate if you can!
The Gympanzees Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales.
The total walking distance is 23 miles (37km) and the total ascent is 3064 metres (10,052ft). The total driving distance is 462 miles.
Ben Nevis (1,345m) in Scotland
Scafell Pike (978m) in England
and Snowdon (1,085m) in Wales
