Story
I'm running the London Marathon (26.2) miles in April 2023 alongside other challenges in the lead up to raise funds for the charity of whizz kids. One of the other challenges will be the Goggins challenge in early March.
I've always been a charity skeptic and as with all the things I've done over the years I haven't raised because I believe many charities are run as businesses. Though when I take a second to think, I'm truly blessed to be able to get out and run, do the marathon, goggins challenge and other things. For some children, they don't have that blessing and they'd be supplied a standard wheelchair. Like with bespoke running shoes or a tailored suit, the right wheelchair can make a world of difference unlocking their potential as well as providing them confidence. Below is a quote from their site:
"All young people face challenges, but for a young wheelchair user society can be that bit more challenging to navigate. The right wheelchair is more than just a set of wheels; it can be the key to unlocking a young person’s potential.Whizz-Kidz’ range of services give young disabled people the chance to lead a fun and active childhood, while gaining independence and growing in confidence."
I know times are hard for everyone, though I'd be really grateful for every donation regardless of how small. Even if it's just a fiver :).
