Mad Dog 10K · 4 February 2018

This unique small charity is run by volunteers who offer summer camps and days out, free of charge to disabled children and young people who struggle to access mainstream activities. We help them to develop confidence and independence through trips to theme parks, swimming, cinema, sports and drama.

Story

Ron & I are running the (probably very cold) "Mad Dog Southport 10k" together on February 4th.

 We decided to make a "Just Giving" page for Heswall Disabled Children's Fund. They are a wonderful local charity who provide a free week's summer holiday for children (aged 9-15) with disabilities from around the North West. It is run entirely by volunteers and the charity needs to raise £30,000 a year to cover running costs. Because of the complex care needs of many of the children, they and their families struggle to have regular holidays. This holiday gives the children a chance to meet new friends, have loads of fun and try out new things with the support they need. Activities last year included flying in a light aircraft, swimming, zoo, cinema, eating out and a fireside sing-song. Also, there were lots of in-camp activities with really enthusiastic people. 

         We were extremely impressed by the staff last year, and Billy had a great time. It also gave us a relaxing week, as a bonus!

         If you'd like to sponsor us, we'd be really grateful for anything you'd like to donate. Thank you!Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
