Thank you all for joining this group and all your support. Especially my anonymous sponcer and Christina.

I am really sorry but due to injury I am unable to do the 10K. I did the distance 2 weeks ago in a training race with Hillingdon Athletic club and got a time of 46:41. The physiotherapist advises against it and I fear it could just make the achilles strain worse. HOWEVER, I do intend to do another race or event soon to substitute for this and I will inform everyone which one and when once I have got my leg back up and running.

Thank you for all your support and I will be intouch with the new event details shortly.

Leonard Cheshire Disability exists to change attitudes to disability and to serve disabled people around the world. Their principal activity in the UK is the provision of services in support of disabled people in the widest context. These services include care homes, supported living, domiciliary support, day services, resource centres, rehabilitation, respite care, personal support and training and assistance for those looking for work. They operate in all parts of the UK and are the largest voluntary sector provider of care and support services for disabled people.

The core areas of their work include: 

• Inclusive Education - promoting disabled children's right to a meaningful education
• Livelihoods programmes- to enable people with disabilities  to become independent
• Health & Rehabilitation
• Support to everyday living
• Training and research in post conflict and post- disaster countries

I am particularly interested in supporting Leonard Cheshire Disability because the disability services for disabled adults in the NHS still needs much improvement. Children with disability do have a fairly good service but as young people reach adulthood they find their support is reduced dramatically.

I am also inspired by a man who had a lifelong disability and fought against it all his life, achieving the unthinkable. He never gave up and he is an inspiration to me. Some of you may know who I am refering to.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Leonard Cheshire Disability gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
