Brighton Marathon 2025 · 6 April 2025 ·

The Bumblebee Children’s Charity is a specialist centre working together with families to support babies and young children with physical difficulties taking part in a fun filled sensory programme. Families do not pay for this service. The Bumblebee Children’s Charity incorporates all aspects of the child’s development (physical, cognitive, social and emotional) into its programme. Every child has different needs, so the programme is designed around the individual child and related to his or her age and abilities. The staff team are always there to guide and support. Parents/primary carers work with their child, usually as part of a group, using equipment, toys and songs to make the tasks enjoyable and productive. It is important that the parent and child are involved together in the learning process and all skills learned are closely related to those which serve a purpose at home.

Story

I've signed up for the Brighton marathon on the 6th April and I would love to raise some money for the Bumblebee Children's Charity.

The charity hold regular free sessions around the Suffolk area to support babies and young children with physical difficulties. Over the past few months they have helped the most amazing little 2 year old named Logan (I work with his Dad!) with physio and provided an excellent support network for his parents.

Training so far is not going quite to plan. I feel like I've got the knees of 60 year old and the heart of a 80 year old but I'll do everything I can to make it to the finish line.

You can track progress (or lack of it) on Strava: https://strava.app.link/3r8adElFhRb.
