Story
JAPES: Joelette and People Experiences was established to raise money to buy a Joelette. The Joelette is a specifically designed wheelchair to enable anyone with reduced mobility or disability to be involved in running activities with the help of at least two guides.
Our previous Crowdfunding campaigns allowed us to buy a Joelette and our Launch Run took place at the Great Scottish Run on October 2nd 2016. Our fundraising continues though, to allow us to continue to enter mass running events, with teams of volunteer runners, and more 'Pilots' whose lives will be greatly enriched by this inclusive experience.
You can follow what we do on our webpage www.japes.scot, our Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/joelettejapes/, and our Twitter feed @japes_scot.
A film, shot at the Great Scottish Run, recorded our launch and will be available soon.

8 years agoOne of our original JAPES runners - Heather Angelopoulos - is running the Athens Marathon on Sunday November 13th. She has been encouraging her sponsors to donate to JAPES. What a star! The current total on this page is down to her generous efforts and the generosity of her supporters. Thank you all! Kudos!
