Thank you for visiting my web page, called Ben is a Superhero, for my first ever sponsored event.

I'm going to walk four miles and the walk is going to be near a canal. (I don't want to walk one and a half miles because I'm not one and I want to walk four miles because I want to do my age.) If I get tired I'll try and keep walking and if I get really tired I'll still try and keep walking.

Please help me raise money so that disabled children in countries like Uganda can go to school. Mummy works at Leonard Cheshire Disability and Leonard Cheshire Disability is helping the children go to school. They are doing this by talking to lots of people to make sure everyone understands what the disabled children need. They are building ramps and making windows bigger. They are starting clubs for all children to do things together like singing and playing football. Maybe they will do painting too.

I like going to nursery and next year I will go to school. I hope the disabled children can go to school because it's very fun and they will have lots of friends.

The last thing I want to say is "BATMAN TO THe Rescue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Note: Ben is adamant he'll walk 4 miles in one day, not over two days as was suggested. He also decided of his own accord to give all the money in his money box - £3.66 - to help the disabled children go to school.

Waterwalks is a series of walks around the UK, being organised by Leonard Cheshire Disability in partnership with the Waterways Trust. More information can be found at: http://www.lcdisability.org/?lid=10408
