About my charity
:
The PACE Centre
What’s so special about PACE?
At PACE children with physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy find their own voice, walk their own steps and discover that they can fully enjoy everyday life and become active members of society. Cerebral palsy is a physical condition affecting movement as a result of damage to the brain.
We believe in each child’s ability to learn despite their disability. We provide a loving and inspirational environment, motivating children with physical disabilities to work hard at achieving their goals.
Our focus is on ‘educating for life’ – developing a child’s social, emotional, communication, academic and motor skills. Every child’s achievement is a direct result of our unique staff team, all working together in one centre with the child at its heart.
PACE is a charity inspired by the principles of Conductive Education, a system which emphasises that children develop as a whole.
One in very 400 children in the UK is affected by cerebral palsy. Your support enables us to reach children and families though intensive programmes, training and outreach. We depend on donations from trusts, businesses, groups and individuals.

| My personal message: |
On the 18th June 2008 I will be setting out from The Pace Centre in Aylesbury, with my RIPCOR team mates Treve Ripley, Ian Douglass, Stuart Andrews, Dek Middleton, Rob Paulding and Chris Taite and 14 others, on an epic 4 day, 350 mile bike ride from Aylesbury to Dublin to raise money for The PACE Centre.
Our aim is obviously to raise as much money as possible for The Pace Centre and that’s were you come in.
Please take a few minutes to visit The Pace Centre to see for yourself what fantastic work they do there, and to understand why we are taking on this challenge, then all you have to do is sponsor me. The little kid on the home page holding the five is Team RIPCOR Dek Middleton's little lad Charlie who goes t the Centre.
Please also check out the RIPCOR WEBSITE where you can check out some pics of who we are and why we are doing this and also to find out how you can sponsor our shirts!
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me. The Pace Centre 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.
Thanks for your support.
Sean and the res of the RIPCOR team! (Treve, Doug, Dek, Chris, Rob and Stu).
P.S This is the last time i will be doing a ride of this nature, so please dig deep and spare whatever you can. Many Many thanks!
