Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On the 18^th of September 2010 we will be embarking on an epic fundraising challenge. We will be going to take part in the Great Wall of China Trek 2010. We are doing this on behalf of Scope, the charity for people with cerebral palsy.

The Trek which involves walking all day every day for 5 days will be the biggest challenge of our lives. The terrain is extremely hilly with many paths only accessible by foot. The Great Wall varies from steep inclines to thousands and thousands of steps. It will be both physically and emotionally demanding yet the reward and sense of achievement in undertaking such a challenge will certainly outweigh the difficult venture we face.

Every six hours a child is born with cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is the most commonly diagnosed physical condition in the , and occurs around the time of birth when part of the brain fails to develop properly. It can happen to any child. Scope is the largest charity in the working with people with cerebral palsy, their families and carers.

The money raised from the Great Wall of China Trek 2010 will allow Scope to continue running their vital services which are designed to support disabled people in every aspect of their lives from birth through to adulthood. Scope’s aim is that disabled people achieve equality in everyday life. Scope is striving to achieve a world where disabled people have the same opportunities to fulfil their life ambitions as non disabled people.

We have pledged to raise a total of £6200 for Scope.

Scope is currently only able to reach one in four people who need help. With your support Scope will reach more people. To set the ball rolling, we have donated the first £400 ourselves.

If you could sponsor us your donation would bring us that much closer to achieving our goal, and help Scope achieve its objective that disabled people achieve equality.
