On the 12th August, the Besties aka Jessie, Kimmy & Sammy are taking part in the Superhero Tri at Dorney Lake in Windsor with their Sidekicks Jason & Emma.

White Lodge Centre is a place that has been close to our hearts and has offered Jess so much support over the years so we have decided to give something back and raise as much money as possible for this amazing organisation. We welcome and would be SO be grateful for as any donations to help us meet our target!

We will jointly be swimming 150m (aka Kim,Sam, Jason and Emma pushing Jess in a dingy) cycling 3km (YES Jess will be cycling) and running 1km.

Jess went to nursery at White Lodge from the age of 2 until 4 and they really helped her build the fundamentals of living an independent life!

The access to physio and speech therapy, not only helped Jess’s physical health but gave her the tools needed that enabled her to go to a mainstream primary school, Ashford Park with both her sisters Lauren and Kim.

Jess was in the Great Britain Boccia Squad for for nearly 10 years. She participated in the London Paralympics in 2012 which was was an Amazing experience!! Her pair came 5th and beat Canada in their final game!! Throughout Jess’ Boccia career White Lodge gave her access to their hydro pool to help relax her muscles and joints after training.

It costs over £2.5 million a year to run White Lodge and the costs are not fully met by statutory funding, so they rely on voluntary donations to maintain vital services and currently fundraise for over £560,000 per year. That’s why we are looking to raise as much money as possible to for this incredible organisation!
