Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I have decided to run the Paris Marathon and have secured a place through supporting a charity called Whizz Kidz. To be honest, I didn't know a great deal about the Charity when I signed up. However, since attending some Whizz Kidz functions I have met some incredible children - they are severely disable but still make the best of everything.  I have been deeply touched by the generosity of the workers and supporters of Whizz Kids but also appauled by the lack of funding available to disabled children. As a result I am determined to raise a meaningful amount of money to make a difference.  

Whizz-Kidz' service is focused on meeting the needs of disabled children by providing them and their families with mobility equipment, wheelchair skills training, life skills and raising the awareness of issues affecting disabled people. The charity is campaigning to ensure all disabled children have access to the right mobility equipment at the right time but unfortunately the government isn't providing the necessary support - this is where you and can make a difference to these kids' lives.

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!  Thank you very much.
