Matthews Ultra Marathon, 5 December 2020
We fund specialist equipment to improve the lives of disabled children

Story

On Saturday 7th November I ran 85km, the equivalent of just over 2 marathons. Why?  Good question.  As well as the sense of personal achievement, I wanted to raise funds for Newlife (www.newlifecharity.co.uk); a charity who provide specialist equipment to disabled and terminally ill children across the UK.  Take a look at their website to see the impact this has for not only the children, but also their families. 

I work for Care Housing Association, a specialist provider of supported housing.  I am thrilled to say that the Board at Care have agreed to match fund any contributions (up to £1000) which means that every £1 sponsored will be doubled!

Any contribution you can make will be greatly appreciated and will make a huge difference.
