I am running this years New York Marathon on November 6th 2005 to raise money for Get Kids Going - a charity that raises money for kids that can't run but provides them with specialised wheelchairs so they can play with their friends and even take part in sports such as marathons, tennis, athletics, rugby, basketball etc.
It gives disabled children and young people the chance of a life time, freedom, and many wonderful opportunities that you and I take for granted
In the UK 250,000 disabled children would love to be able to compete in a sport that we all have the born privilege of but they do not have the mobility equipment to allow them to do so.
It costs £3000 for an individually designed wheelchair that allows a child or youngster to compete in their chosen sport and my goal is to raise enough money to provide ONE!!.
I understand that almost on a daily basis we are all asked to donate to different causes and that we only have so much disposable income to give back to society. That said I do sincerley hope that you will dig deep and sponsor me online for this very worthwhile charity - Get Kids Going.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Get Kids Going! will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support.
