My story

On 6th Feb 2011 I will be taking part in the Watford Half Marathon. This is a massive personal challenge for me and have been told it is one of the hardest I could have chosen as my first ever half marathon! I'm hoping to raise a little bit of money for Orchyd.

ORCHYD is a charity based in Ruislip which provides 20 children with physical disabilities with a 10 day holiday during the summer holidays. The children are aged between 8 and 12 and  have a range of disabilities and individual needs.

Each day of the holiday the children go to different places, including Legoland, Paradise wildlife park and a weekend camping. We try to make the holiday as fun and enjoyable for every child as possible.

Its is run purely by dedicated volunteers who kidnly give up their summer holidays to help ensure the children get a high level of care around the clock, from befriending them on the trips, general care and help during the day and night, nursing, cooking, security and organising the holiday. Orchyd not only gives the children an exciting and fun filled holiday bit also provides rest bite for the families.

 Please see the links on facebook to the new video to see us in action.

 

I have been involved with Orchyd for a quite a long time now and see just how much it benefits the children and families and how hard our volunteers work to make the holiday a success.

 

I know money is not growing on trees at the moment for many of us however if you can spare a few pennies or pounds to go towards making a difference to the children and their families then please sponsor me for what is most likely to be a very hard few hours of my life.

Massive thank you for showing your support to Orchyd.
