Story

To my own surprise but perhaps to nobody else’s, Luke Roch (and Gavin Roch, and Adam Roch) and I will be running the London marathon on the 2ND October 2022. We’re raising money for the extraordinary Whizz Kids charity which empowers children and young people with disabilities to live independent lives. 

Whizz Kids is the UK’s leading charity for young wheelchair users. They provide wheelchairs for over 75,000 young people and children with disabilities who can’t otherwise access suitable wheelchairs. Often, it can be a long wait for the correct wheelchair on the NHS which can be physically harmful and socially isolating for the children, so Whizzkids step in at a crucial stage in the lives and development of these young people.These wheelchairs allow their users to be mobile on their own and gives them back independence and control over their own lives. It’s an incredible charity, so if you’d like to support them, please donate below.
