Welcome to WheelPower's Wheel Appeal fundraising page
WheelPower is the national charity for wheelchair sports such as basketball, football, archery, tennis, athletics. WheelPower's aim is to help transform people's lives through sport. This can only happen if they have enough support to purchase sports wheelchairs and to provide facilities in which to train and play. WheelAppeal is about raising enough funds to purchase 2012 new sports wheelchairs by 2012 paralympics and this is where we come in...
We are 22 enthusiastic individuals from the Guardian who want to raise enough money to buy 3 new sports wheelchairs. Before the 12th May we had, between us, no experience of life in a wheelchair. So it was with a small amount of trepidation but plenty of excitement that we took to the court and battled each other in the most competitive of competitions know to mankind. The Guardian Wheelchair Basketball Tournament. Some of us in fancy dress.
Teams and positions:
FIRST: Red (Dan Collins, Matt Gilbert, Maggie Land, Brian Walton, Claire Hewitt)
SECOND: Neo(n) Rave (Craig Clark, Carrina Gaffney, Jennie Cohen, Bob Butcher, Andrew Schwartz)
THIRD: Blue (Jon Neill, Ross Easterbrook, Emela Sisic, Catriona Long, Jake Ineson)
FOURTH: White (Cat Prosser, Rob Saker, Ibrahim Tahir, Richard Wells, Maarten Middelkoop)
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: WheelPower 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.
