Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are fundraising for Make A Special Kid Smile (MASKS), the charity which supports The Vale Federation of special schools in Aylesbury, where we both work.

This summer we are fundraising across the schools for some much needed specialist technology for communication, including eye-gaze technology, specialist switches, and specialist software. As one of the Speech and Language Therapists in the school, this cause is particularly close to Helen's heart. The technology will allow our pupils to operate computer software using movements with their legs, heads, knees, arms or even their eyes, so they can tell us what they want to say. Our pupils all communicate in their own ways, and we want to make sure we have the right technology available to help them find their voice. We know that they have plenty to say!

Bradley and Helen have set themselves the challenge of the Castle to Coast Triathlon on 20th July 2024. This starts in Windsor and ends in Brighton, covering a frankly intimidating 70.3 miles by swimming, cycling, and running. They will start with a 1.2 mile swim in Dorney lake, before cycling 66 miles through the beautiful but 'rolling' Surrey Hills, then ending with an equally hilly half marathon along the South Downs Way to finish on Brighton Sea Front. This promises to be an epic day out, and let's hope they can both stay conscious and functioning enough to enjoy it!
