Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.

I am running the London Marathon for this amazing charity Whizz-Kidz, to both raise money and also honour my Uncle Tom who was born with severe cerebral palsy in Dublin in 1943. He was raised at home with little money around by my nan, grandad, mum and aunt. The gift of a wheelchair from a local charity allowed him more mobility and meant he could venture outside with his family and experience a fuller life until his sad death aged only 29. 

Whizz-Kidz offers help like this and so much more, my fundraising for Whizz-Kidz goes toward  vital services for young wheelchair users. Please sponsor me and help transform young people's lives.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.

This one’s for you Tom and all the Whizz-Kidz!
