Ben's Krakow Marathon (April 19th) fundraiser for Beach Wheelchairs

Ben Carter is raising money for North Berwick Beach Wheelchairs

Krakow Marathon · 19 April 2026

Beach Wheelchairs is a local charity that hires specialist equipment for free to let people with disabilities to get onto the beach. We have a range of wheelchairs to suit your needs at our 3 locations. You can find us at North Berwick, and Haven in Seton Sands in East Lothian and at Portobello beach in Edinburgh. We are volunteer run and all wheelchairs should be booked in advance. We have a hoist at both North Berwick and Portobello.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I volunteer with Beach Wheelchairs at my local beach in Portobello, Edinburgh. It is a real privilege to help make it possible for wheelchair users to be able to gain access to the sand and the waves using specialist chairs.

The charity operates in both North Berwick (20 miles down the coast from me) and Portobello.

Each year more and more wheelchair users are accessing this service. On 19th April I will be running the Krakow Marathon and any donations made will continue to help this fantastic service increase access to our beaches. Most of my training runs go past our facility in Portobello so that gives me an extra buzz as I tire on my longer training runs.

Many Thanks 🙏
