In April I will be attempting to run the London Marathon for Whizz Kids, hoping to raise as much money as possible.
Whizz-kidz is a great charity for which I have much respect. In running the marathon I hope to help their vision; providing a more independent future allowing disabled children to have the opportunities other children do. “All children should have the chance to be something special…a kid. But there are an estimated 70,000 disabled children in the UK who are waiting for the right wheelchair, a wheelchair that will mean they can get up to all the things that kids like to do”. Whizz-Kidz does not solely provide wheelchairs they offer disabled children and young people wheelchair skills training, advice and information, opportunities to meet and have fun at local clubs, and training to help them gain vital skills for life.
The marathon will be a huge challenge but it is something I have always wanted to do and I hope people will support me as I train over the coming months and dig-deep for such a good cause. I will keep everyone updated with my progress and other fundraising events I’ll be putting on before April.
Thank you for your time, support and money!
