New York Marathon 2005 · 6 November 2005 ·

Get Kids Going! helps disabled children take part in sport by providing specialist sports wheelchairs, sports grants and year round support. They can then compete in marathons, triathlons, tennis, athletics, skiing, rugby, basketball etc. With your help, many could become Paralympic champions and world record holders.

Story

UPDATE -

I have now completed the marathon, placing 2204th in 3:24:55 (net time = 3:22:58). Thank you once again to everyone who generously contributed to this great cause!

Best wishes,
David.

On 6 November I will be attempting my second marathon -- this time in New York. I will be running to raise funds for Get Kids Going, a charity which helps disabled children (and young people up to the age of 26) take part in sport. Any donation, however big or small, makes an amazing difference to a disabled child's life. We can help provide the freedom and other opportunities, which you and I may take for granted, to these children. A sports wheelchair costs £3,000. A lightweight manual wheelchair is around £2,000. And a trike is roughly £800. So please dig deep and sponsor me. I'll do the leg-work! Thanks very much. David. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Get Kids Going! will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
