Sophie's fundraiser for HCPT Group 3

Richmond Half Marathon · 13 April 2025

For over 70 years, HCPT has journeyed to Lourdes with thousands of children and adults with additional needs-creating magic for guests and volunteers alike. All faiths, one heart. As our founder said: "It wasn't me at all - it was all of us." Your support means everything. 💛

Story

Thank you so much for visiting my JustGiving page for HCPT Group 3! This Easter, I’ll be volunteering with HCPT Group 3 to take eleven wonderful young people with special needs to France on holiday. As part of my fundraising, I’m running the Richmond Half Marathon on 13th April which you can donate to here!

On average, life can be 3 times more expensive when raising a child with special needs. To take a child away with us on holiday costs £1,400 - so any donation you can make towards this would be greatly appreciated! Here’s an idea of what your generosity could support:

£1,400 would cover the full cost of taking a child with special needs away on holiday -- £53 takes a child on a day trip into the mountains of Gavarnie -- £18 covers a child’s trip to the petting zoo -- £10 buys a child a pizza on our big night on the town -- £2 brightens a child’s day with an ice cream

I hope you'll consider donating - and if you'd like to find out more, just drop me a line! You can read more about HCPT Group 3 here: https://www.hcptgroup3.org/ and see family testimonies and news while we’re out in Lourdes on Facebook.
