Raising money for

Leonard Cheshire Disability

Charity Registration No. 218186

Leonard Cheshire Disability supports over 21,000 disabled people in the UK and works in 55 countries around the world. We campaign for change and provide innovative services that give disabled people the opportunity to live life their way. Our services are wide ranging and include day and residential care homes, care at home, resource centres, rehabilitation, respite care and training and assistance for those looking for work. International services include inclusive education for disabled children, training and research to aid recovery in post-conflict and post-disaster countries, and improving access to advice and small business loans. Campaigning is a very important part of our work. Our Creature Discomforts campaign aims to challenge the way people think about and respond to disability in order to remove the barriers faced by disabled people. Registered Charity Number 218186

My story

Most people with children(or grandchildren) will surely have watched Toy Story and will recall Buzz Lightyear's rallying call 'To infinity and beyond'. Well, the intention is a mite less fantasy but nevertheless demanding. Walkers and cyclists who travel from Lands End to John O'Groats are known as 'End to Enders'. In a modified version of Buzz's words, we are aiming to go 'To the Ends and beyond' or, per Captain Kirk, 'To go where no man (or woman) has gone before' (we think). That is a sponsored trans-British Isles expedition from south to north without using any motorised form of transport - from the Scilly Isles to the Shetland Isles by kayak, bicycle and on foot.

The event will take place in late May and June 2009 and will be supported by the Rotary Club of Banbury.

The funds raised will be in aid of Leonard Cheshire Disability's (LCD) 'School 4 All in Africa' project. Following its success in Kenya, LCD is investing to materially increase the availability and quality of access for disabled children to education within schools.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
