Hello!
After many years of ‘shall we, shall we not’, Lisette and I finally bit the bullet and decided to take the next big step and actually just apply for next year’s London Marathon. The good news is that we’ve been accepted and are running for an amazing Charity called Get Kids Going!
Get Kids Going! is a National charity which gives disabled children and young people - up to the age of 26 yrs - the wonderful opportunity of participating in sport. They provide them with specially built sports' wheelchairs so they can participate in various sporting activities such as athletics, marathons, tennis, skiing, rugby, sailing, boccia, basketball, sledge hockey, table tennis, fencing, shooting, archery, powerlifting and many other sports.
Get Kids Going! also inspires British disabled youngsters to compete in sporting events, from start to paralympic level, by giving them 'sports grants' to help with their; training, physiotherapy, travel, competition fees, design and development of sports' wheelchairs etc. With your help many can become world record holders and paralympic champions!
I think we all take for granted how lucky we are to be able to take part in sport which is why it is so important to support these types of charities. So please, please, pretty please with a cherry on the top, dig deep into those pockets of yours and help us reach our target. The money will make a massive difference to hundreds of children’s lives!
Remember every penny counts!!!
