We provide support, information and advice to disabled people and their families
Story
Hi
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
In April I will be running the London Marathon on behalf of Scope, the charity for people with cerebral palsy.
Sponsoring me will help Scope continue running their vital services which are designed to support disabled people in every aspect of their lives.
Cerebral Palsy is the most commonly diagnosed physical condition in the and every 6 hours a child is born with the disease. It occurs around the time of birth when part of the brain fails to develop properly and this can happen to any child.
All donations will help make a huge difference to the work undertaken by scope and will give me even greater motivation to train and reach my full potential.
The money raised from my marathon run will go towards helping people with Cerebral Palsy lead more independent lives. Some examples of how your donations may be spent are listed below:
£10 a month will cover the cost of Scope Response which provides invaluable information and support to disabled people, their families and their carer's.
£60 will buy a single chin switch so that a person with little or no motor control can operate equipment such as an electric wheelchair or a computer.
£160 will pay for one nights respite care at a family help unit
Please be as generous as you can.
Many Thanks
Scott
