We are raising money for a charity called ‘500 miles’ which supports amputees and other disabled people in Malawi and Zambia in Africa. They are particularly focused on delivering and developing prosthetic and orthotic services. To read more, visit their website: http://www.500miles.co.uk/index.html
Did you know?
£60 buys an average prosthesis (a device that replace a body part) or orthosis (a device that supports body parts that don’t function properly)
£100 pays for an average prosthesis or orthosis or an orthopaedic or reconstructive operation to be delivered in a remote location
Why ‘500 miles’?
My inspiration for this race is my very special friend who was fortunate enough to get a prosthetic leg after a motorcycle accident which allowed him to live his life passionately until he sadly passed away in 2008. Nothing ever stopped him, so I’ll try to keep that in mind during the race! (Next time I’ll try something more Xtreme!)

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.

Every little helps! Thank you very much,
