Fundraising for WheelPower
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I'll be taking on the 4/4/48 challenge, where I will be running 4 miles (6.4km) every 4 hours for 48 hours (overall 48 miles/ 78km). I will be saying goodbye to any sleep as I'll only able to get around 1-2 hours maximum at a time between each run. This challenge is going to push me to my limits and is by far the most challenging event I will have ever done so far. Whilst I undertake this challenge, I also want to raise money for a good cause. I have chosen WheelPower, which is the national charity for wheelchair sport and provides opportunities for thousands of children and young adults with disabilities to participate in recreational and competitive wheelchair sport and improve their quality of life. As a huge lover of sport, I know just how beneficial exercise is, physically and psychologically. I would love to inspire, motivate and work towards seeing disabled people active for life.
Please know that your donations will help the charity keep disabled people active, especially during these difficult times, by:
1. Releasing weekly ‘exercise at home’ films;
2. Hosting a weekly live exercise class and advice clinic;
3. Providing equipment which helps disabled people remain active;
4. Providing advice to disabled people on how to stay active;
5. Supporting our partners by providing their beneficiaries with advice on remaining active;
6. Collaborating with other organisations to reach more disabled people at home.
I'll be setting off at 6AM on Friday, 28th August and finishing at 2AM on Sunday, 30th August.
Thanks very much for your support, any donation is really appreciated by the charity and appreciated by me to finish this challenge! Xx
