Virgin London Marathon 2011 · 17 April 2011 ·

All children need to play, but for disabled children it is essential to help them reach their full potential. Challengers provides numerous play schemes for disabled children from across the South East. However, there are hundreds of children missing out every day and your gift can help them play.

Story

Right, so two years have passed since I last did the London Marathon and feeling a bit stupid and naive decided to put myself up for it again. I will cross the line by any means - running is preferable at the moment but who knows what I'll be like after 26.2miles.....however, this time I will train!!!

Challengers caters for children and young people with disabilities. It enables the youngsters to interact with other young people and workers on a social and emotional level. The main aim of Challengers is to enable the children and young people the opportunity to play, very simply. 

The charity gives families the vital respite that is needed when caring for a child with disabilities. Here are a couple of videos about  Challengers, hopefully you'll find them informative and thought provoking:

So, Disability Challengers has been a huge part of my life for the last 5 years so I want to raise as much money as possible for this awesome charity.
