Raising money for

AbleChildAfrica

Charity Registration No. 326859

AbleChildAfrica exists to improve the lives of the estimated 50m children and young people who are living with disability in Africa. We do this by supporting partner organisations to carry out life changing work with them. We think disabled children and disabled young people should be allowed to decide what changes they would like to see, so we make sure that the organisations which we work with actively involve disabled children and young people in their decision making. We have been working in East Africa for the past twenty years and during that time have affected the lives of over 250,000 disabled children and young people. We are currently working in Uganda and Kenya and hope to expand our work to other African countries in the future. The programmes we run include rehabilitative healthcare, inclusive education, parents support groups, children's after school clubs and campaigning work which seeks the full inclusion of disabled children and disabled young people in policy and practice everywhere we work.

My story

I bloody did it!

I came in with a respectable 4:59:26, considerably ahead of Jordan and Peter Andre, and just ahead of a Roman centurion. Quite stiff this week, but still sporting a smug grin.

Thanks so much for all the sponsorship, both online and offline. I'm still collecting and counting some money that people have donated offline, so the final amount will be a bit higher than the one currently showing on the website; I think we may have broken the £1,500 mark.

I promise not to ask you to sponsor me for anything else for a very long time! Thanks again.
