Story

We have exciting plans over the next three years to expand our Wizzybug Loan Scheme, which provides free powered wheelchairs, to help even more very young disabled children. As well as launching new products to help disabled people of all ages. We dont want to stop but we need your help to keep going!

In the UK today, we have Wizzybugs wizzing around in the Shetland Isles and all through the country, right down to Cornwall! The distance between the two furthest apart Wizzybugs is 888 miles.

So we want to invite you to join us for the Triple8 Challenge.

Many of us are making the most of the opportunity to do some form of daily exercise by getting out and about walking, running or cycling. Others are counting their steps in the house, number of times up and down the stairs, or laps around the garden.

We are inviting you to donate your distance to the Triple8 Challenge and help us cover 888 miles together. Can you get us to 888 miles?

You can link your Strava directly to your Just Giving account to help track your miles and let friends and family know how many miles you're clocking up for the Triple8 Challenge.

If you want to join in with a less physical challenge why not come up with your own 8 themed ideas, these are a few of our favourites;

Invite 8 people to take part in a virtual quiz with you

Share your favourite 8 ingredient recipes

Take on an 88 piece Lego challenge, what can you build with 88 pieces?

Make an 88 song summer playlist and share

As part of your challenge, we would love you to either make a donation for taking part, or set up your own fundraising page to ask others to sponsor you.

Whatever you choose to do for your challenge, why not get social and pass it on to people you know to do the same?

Once you've done 8, nominate! Tag 8 people you know to carry out the same thing and keep the chain going.

When people come together to support us, it helps to raise so much more awareness.
