Santa's Fun Run - Greenwich Park · 6 December 2009 ·

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Thanks to a  rush of blood, I have (stupidly) agreed to get up at 8.00 on a Sunday Morning and take part in a 5k run through Greenwich Park in London on Sunday 6 December dressed as Santa! Why you may ask, well to raise money for Motability, the national disability charity helping to get disabled people motoring, of course!

I am willing to make a fool of myself in the name of a good cause. I work at Motability, in the grants department and I have seen first hand the difference these grants can make not only to our disabled customers lives but also to their families. The joy of knowing that someone can experience something as simple as a family day out or even just do the weekly shop because of a grant they have received towards an adaptation for their car, driving lessons or even just being able to obtain a vehicle for their needs really makes my job worthwhile and I hope it will encourage you to support my fundraising attempt!

For those of you who are not familiar with Motability and how we work please just click on this link http://www.motability.co.uk/main.cfm?type=SWWH and read the story of one of our customers Chloe a trully remarkable girl.
