When London Marathon Events made me a Non-Exec Director this year I decided (possibly rashly) to test out all their events in person and raise money for two charities that are close to my heart, Stoke Mandeville Spinal Research and The Walkabout Foundation.

. These are the events I’m taking on in 2018:

•    London Marathon

•    The Big Half Marathon

•    Vitality 10k

•    The Westminster Mile

•    RideLondon (74km cycle)

•    Swim Serpentine (1 mile swim)

THIS PAGE IS FOR DONATIONS TO WALKABOUT FOUNDATION

Walkabout Foundation ’s mission is to restore dignity, freedom and independence by providing wheelchairs and rehabilitation in the developing world. To date, it has distributed over 13,000 wheelchairs in 23 countries, impacting an estimated 39,000 lives, opened two rehabilitation and Day Care centres in India and Kenya and taken their work one step further in April 2018, and opened the first ever Walkabout wheelchair assembly line which will provide a more consistent flow of wheelchairs to the East Africa region and employ local wheelchair users and Walkabout recipients. 

NOTE: If you check out Walkabout’s website, they are also funding research into curing paralysis, but as some of you know that’s not an area I put much stock behind so any money we raise will not be going to this side of the charity.
