Story
I am taking part in the London Marathon 2027 with Team Whizz Kidz!
Whizz Kidz is the UK's leading charity supporting young wheelchair users up to 25 years old. More than 75,000 young people in the UK need a wheelchair to be mobile. Most have no access to a wheelchair that’s right for them, leaving them at risk of social isolation, poor mental health and physical injury.
Whizz Kidz provide the right equipment, skills and confidence young wheelchair users need to go further, whilst campaigning for a more open and accessible society.
Every donation will get Whizz Kidz closer to their vision of a society in which every young wheelchair user is mobile, enabled and included.
I believe everyone should have the opportunity to live life to the fullest, experience as much as possible, and be able to pursue their dreams, regardless of disability. Every young person deserves the chance to explore the world, build friendships, gain independence and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Whizz Kidz makes a real difference by supporting young wheelchair users and helping them access the opportunities and experiences that many of us take for granted. The work they do to empower young people, build confidence and help them live life on their own terms is incredibly important to me.
I also believe there is huge value in sharing lived experiences. Being able to learn from one another, understand different perspectives and create a world where everyone feels included can make a lasting difference. Nobody should be held back from experiencing life simply because of a disability.
Taking on the London Marathon will be a huge personal challenge, but it's one I'm proud to undertake for a cause that means so much to me. If my efforts can help Whizz Kidz continue their amazing work and give more young people the opportunity to experience everything life has to offer, every mile will be worth it.
Thank you so much for supporting me and helping me raise money for Whizz Kidz. Every donation, no matter the size, will help make a difference.
