Jemma Mackie is raising money for Headway Thames Valley
Story
Over the past twelve months, people the world over have adapted at great lengths in order to support government recommendations to beat COVID. People have adapted and accommodated online learning, identified new ways to socialise through technology and still maintain physical and mental well-being.
However, some people are not coping nearly as well, and have not adapted to the change. Some people, despite of their efforts, have not had the support when needed and have remained isolated and unable to find their way.
We, at Get Sports Inspired, have truly been inspired by the fantastic work undertaken by the inspirational people at Headway Thames Valley who work tirelessly to support people living with brain injuries in Berkshire, South Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, to adjust and not only cope with their altered lifestyle, but enable and empower them to strive to live life to fulfilment.
As such, Get Sports Inspired are looking to raise funds by running/ walking/ cycling in small teams, a distance of TWO THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED MILES (the distance from Wembley Stadium to Baku Olympic Stadium, Azerbaijan). Which is the furthest stadium from London in the 2021 football European Championships.
Our teams will be clocking up the miles each day and posting their distance covered each week in a 'Race to Baku.'
We would love for you all to get involved by either making a donation via our links to our funding pages, or simply by typing messages of support to keep our teams going when they need a little motivation or inspiration.
If you would like to join a team please contact Jemma for more information jemma@getsportsinspired.org.uk
Thank you for your support!
