Story

WheelPower, the national charity for wheelchair sport have been providing opportunities for people with physical impairments to take part in sport for over 70 years. Based at Stoke Mandeville Stadium, the home of the Paralympic movement, WheelPower is at the heart of wheelchair sport.With your support WheelPower will be able to deliver more life changing opportunities for disabled people, introducing them to the joys of playing sport, and the many benefits that come from a more active lifestyle.

I've got two marathons planned, one before i'm 25 at the end of October (still need to find one to run)  and then London 2024. 

I've seen first hand the great work that Wheelpower do by attending the Wheelpower National Youth Games with Furze Down School, it gives a great opportunity for students to experience new sports in a safe environment surrounded by their peers. 

Watch this space as I think of some more fun fundraising ideas and get my Strava linked...

Thank You.
