Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I will be joining my like-minded colleagues...to jog, walk...crawl...100k over 24 hours. This route is from Devils Dyke to Winchester via the South Downs Way. If this wasn't hard enough...we will also be given mental challenges along the way!
The name Elifar stands for 'Every Life Is For A Reason', a philosophy which serves to remind us all that everyone deserves to enjoy the minimum standards of comfort and happiness, though for those with severe disability these are often not easily achieved. The financial, physical and emotional cost to them and their families is enormous and any help we can give will often be life changing and always gratefully received.
The Elifar is a small charity which helps to improve the lives of children and young adults with severe learning difficulty and associated physical disability. They provide grants for a variety of items including electronic wheelchairs, specialised seating, eating aids, special beds and trikes, hoists, communication devices, sensory equipment and specialist holidays.
The Elifar Foundation is run almost by volunteers which means that a large proportion of the funds go directly to the people who need them.
This is the first challenge we`ve signed up to that we`re not sure we`ll be able to finish...a frightening distance!...but the cause will hopefully push us through the pain...you`re encouragement and support is, as always, greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Toffi
