My story

I never thought running a marathon was for me. However, last year I hung out at mile 18 of the London marathon and cheered for participants of every shape and size (I yelled so much that I lost my voice). After that day, I was inspired to run it. I'm determined to train properly and make sure I complete it.

I'm raising money for the amazing charity Whizz-Kidz. We did the Neon Night Walk in July and I was greatly impressed by the work Whizz-Kidz does for disabled children. Our Whizz-Kidz ambassador Robyn showed us what a big difference having a customised wheelchair made in her life, especially by enabling her to participate at school and not have to sit on the sidelines.  Whizz-Kidz provides disabled children and young people with vital mobility equipment, opportunites to meet and have fun, and training to help them gain skills and look forward to a better future.

How your donation makes a difference:


  • For every £1 invested in Whizz-Kidz services, benefits of between £10 and £65 are generated to the wider public purse. Leading economic analyst firm, Frontier Economics Limited. 

                                                                                         

  • It costs on average three times as much to raise a disabled child as a non-disabled child. Whizz-Kidz will provide 1,200 wheelchairs and adapted trikes this year. 

 

  • Disabled young people are over twice as likely as their non-disabled peers not to be in education, employment or training. Whizz-Kidz will provide over 100 work placements this year.

 

  • Whizz-Kidz will deliver Wheelchair Skills Training to over 700 disabled kids this year.

Please help support this worthy cause, every donation, big or small helps make a difference. 

You can even donate via text! Donate £1-5 or £10 by texting CAMI83 £1-5 or 10 to 70070. 

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I surpassed my target on Thursday! What a great feeling! Thank you to everyone who has supported me. Race day is only 2 days away, I'm excited (but also nervous) to join the other 35,000 running the marathon. I'm so proud to be on the Whizz-Kidz team!
