I am supporting and fundraising this year for a local charity Kangaroos. The charity delivers FUN and SOCIAL activities in a supported setting for young people with learning disabilities in Mid Sussex.

For those attending the Kangaroos clubs and outings there are many benefits, including maintaining and building friendships, promoting self-esteem and confidence, improving social skills and gaining independence from their families.The charity is a lifeline for many families supporting a family member with complex needs.

With the ongoing threat of funding cuts, now more than ever, Kangaroos needs your support. I became involved with this charity through my work at Artemis Marketing. I have learnt a lot about the good work this charity does through my colleague Julia, who is coordinating our team mission to raise at least £2000. The work they do to help families access much needed services is vital, so I would very much appreciate your help by sponsoring my attempt at the 48 mile route, which I am now training hard for!
