Story



Wow - you made it!!  well thanks for dropping by and keeping me company!
 
While you're here could I possibly interest you in a a good deed perhaps?? yes?
well fabulous! 
look no further as I have the perfect solution that will have you polishing that halo
of yours in a jiffy.
 
Well if you haven't heard me nattering on about it (which would be a pure miracle
indeed) then I shall put you in the picture. Firstly you might ask, as I have, why Whizz
kids?  why Whizz kids indeed?!

As a child I was partially disabled and had to wear a calliper (metal frame the
length of my leg) as a result of a disease in one of my hips which was both painful
and made mobility cumbersome and excruciatingly slow. So although I wasn't
confined to a wheel chair I certainly understand what it
feels like to have your mobility compromised and have to rely upon the assistance
of others to even perform sometimes the most simple of tasks. Being in that situation
particularly as a child is one the hardest things I have had to do so my heart goes out
to those who have no choice but a wheel chair for movement.

So this is where WhizzKidz come in and it really is amazing what they do for young
people in providing them with mobility equipment advise, training and life skills you
really have to agree its worth its weight in gold.

Something else that inspired me, not that I needed much to be honest but I think you
will get where I coming from after watching this;

So what I need your help in the form of words and money, you know me not backward
in coming forward!
the more the better and if it makes you feel better just imagine me running those
26.2 miles!!! 
still think Yeeeeeks!! 
 
Definately a bit of emotion when I cross that finish line that's for sure.

 

Anyway I'll leave the next part to you and thanks again
