Reading Half Marathon 2011 · 20 March 2011 ·

Most families take recreational play for granted. For families of children with special needs, this is impossible for some and extremely difficult for most. The aim of Swings and Smiles is to provide a fun and safe facility where children can enjoy play appropriate to their needs and abilities.

Story

<p>Me and Jimbo are going to run the Reading Half Marathon to help raise some cash for Swings and Smiles.</p> <p>We were invited to a race dinner last year thinking we'd get a free lunch. But, apparently, there's no such thing, and we're going to have to run 13 miles for it now.</p> <p>We've got a modest minimum target of &pound;500 to raise between the two of us - and this is our joint page - so please sponsor accordingly.&nbsp;</p> <p>If we raise more than &pound;500, we'll do it in costumes and email pictures to everyone who sponsored us. So there's an incentive!</p> <p>It would be great to get this brilliant facility up and running, so that our sister Emily and her friends can have a place to play and meet like the rest of us!</p>
