This is the major annual fund-raising event that we hold for this worthy cause and this year we&rsquo;d like to see if we can yet again raise as much money as we can to help children who badly need our support.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">Cheshire Homes in Zambia works primarily with disabled children operating 10 homes and a specialist orthopaedic hospital. Through a combination of<span>&nbsp; </span>surgery, residential care, rehabilitation, community outreach and vocational training programmes, each year Cheshire Homes makes a real difference to the lives of hundreds of disabled children, helping them to integrate more fully into wider society.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">Lusaka Hash House Harriers have been supporting Cheshire Homes since 1997 when the first Wheelchair Run was held with the twin aims of raising enough cash to buy two much-needed wheelchairs for the Kabulonga Cheshire Home and giving children from the home a fun day out.<span>&nbsp; </span>Since then the event has grown and grown become a regular fixture on the Lusaka calendar raising increasing sums of<span>&nbsp; </span>money each year for Cheshire Homes. In 2011 we raised a total of over &pound;10,000 ($15,000) in cash alone with significant amounts of goods and supplies also being donated directly for use by the homes.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">Please help us in our efforts in whatever way you can.</p> </span></span></p>
