Story

Hi everyone! In 2025 I will be running 2 marathons to raise money for the Whizz Kidz Charity!

London Marathon - 27th April

Leeds Marathon - 11th May

By donating to my marathon efforts for the Leeds and London races, you’ll not only support me in a personal challenge but also contribute to a meaningful cause - Whizz Kidz. Every donation will help make a real difference to those in need, transforming my miles into impact. Your generosity can turn these 2 marathons into a journey of hope and positive change, and together, we can uplift lives and families whilst creating lasting outcomes. Help me cross the finish line (twice) with purpose!

Facts worth knowing about the Whizz Kidz:

- 75,000 young people need a wheelchair to be mobile.

- Over 10,000 young people have received life-changing wheelchairs.

- Over 20,000 young people have attended Whizz Kidz events, gaining new skills and confidence.

I'm fundraising towards Whizz Kidz' vital services for young wheelchair users. Please sponsor me and help Whizz Kidz create opportunities for young wheelchair users to get the equipment, skills, and confidence to go further in life. It's unacceptable that young wheelchair users face so many obstacles in their lives. From inaccessible spaces to negative attitudes, it's time to change the status-quo urgently. With your support, we can create a world where every young person can reach their full potential.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. The more people that know about Whizz-Kidz, the greater the impact will be in helping more young wheelchair users become independent. Please spread the word by sharing my page far and wide, with your friends, friends, colleagues and as many people as you can reach.

Thank you for all the support. Jamie :) x
