My story

Whizz-Kidz is a charity that is all about giving disabled children and young people the independence to enjoy an active childhood - at home, at school and at play. By providing them with customised mobility equipment, training, advice and life skills, Whizz-Kidz actually give them something much more important; the independence to be themselves. It has been a lifelong goal of mine to run the NYC marathon and I'm inspired and excited to be racing and raising money on behalf of Whizz-Kidz. Coincidentally, my cousin, Houston, turns 21 on the day of the race this year (Sunday, 1st November 2009). It's only through the laughs and adventures we've shared over the years that I can 100% appreciate the full impact that high-quality mobility equipment makes on not only an individual but on entire families. Cerebral Palsy means that Houston can't walk or talk but it doesn't mean that he can't ride boats, bikes, horses, or ski the Rockies! Thanks in advance for your generous donation and in the words of the late, great Richard Guthrie Schaub: MEDABO! Make Every Day A Better One! -Mary

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Whizz-Kidz gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
