I'm incredibly proud to be Chief Executive of Whizz Kidz and I'm running the London Marathon 2026 for children like Charlie - https://youtu.be/M-KCkiqlCFk.

Having hit my original fundraising goal of £24,000 thanks to some incredibly generous donations, I am now trying to raise £28,800 before the big day. £28,800 could provide six children with the wheelchairs they urgently need to transform their independence, confidence, and future opportunities.

Charlie is one of the 75,000 young people in the UK who need a wheelchair to be mobile. Without the right wheelchair, children become isolated and may often be in pain. They lose their independence, are completely reliant on others to move them around, and miss out on friends and playtime. Having the right wheelchair provides children with the freedom to play, learn and grow, building their independence and confidence.

Your donation will make a huge difference to young people like Charlie, giving them the freedom they deserve.

Thank you.
