2,500 disabled, most of them children,whose bodies have been shattered by serious illness and terrorist activity are rehabilitated through sports programs at the Israel Sport Centre for the Disabled.Funded almost entirely by charitable donations, the Centre desperately needs wheelchairs, essential rehabilitative equipment and support for specific projects.

Story

"Goodwheel 2015”  is  taking place between 9th and 12th March  riding on and off road through the beautiful scenery of the Negev and the Dead Sea.  Am I looking forward to this?  Yes but with very much trepidation. 

I have been involved with this fabulous Sport Centre for the disabled for almost 40 years. Although I have visited and worked with the executive, staff and members on over 100 occasions, I remain totally inspired when I am with the very young physically or mentally damaged children who through sport and care become self-sufficent and active individuals. Many of the members return to the Centre to be trainers or to volunteer to help both the young and old. Religion, colour or creed are irrelevant. Government funding is minimal and we are dependent on donations for 99% of our budget.

 Please support me and donate through Justgiving which is safe and easyand if possible use the gift aid which will add 28% to your donation
