#TeamMarches London Marathon
STEVE CAMERON is raising money for Marches Family Network
Story
On 27th April I will be running the London Marathon, just 2 months shy of turning 60....aarggghhhhhhhhhh.
I was lucky enough to get a place in the marathon via the ballot, and because I work for the fantastic Marches Family Network it is only fair that I fund raise for them.
MFN provides activities, services and short breaks for children and young people, aged 0-25 years, with a wide range of disabilities. All of the sessions they run are group sessions so the young people are able to socialise with their peers and develop friendships
Marches Family Network are a lifeline for hundreds of families in Herefordshire and the surrounding counties. Our sessions are the only inclusive, accessible and supported activities that many disabled children and young adults can access, on both the weekends and school holidays.
'I love my Marches trips. The adults are so kind and fun. We go to lots of places and I make new friends. I have lots of fun. I do cool things and the grown ups help to keep me safe. I made lots of new friends too.'
Supporting families and young people is what we do best. However, as a charity, we rely on donations, grants and fundraising to continue our vital work. Without this, many young people would be left isolated, unable to meet with their peers, and families would be left with no respite from their caring responsibilities.
'MFN provides a lifeline to families like mine who find themselves unable to access most of what is out there for children to take part in. It creates a community'
So, please can I ask you to donate to this fantastic organisation to help put smiles on faces and make the world a better place.
PS Anyone who donates will not be required to buy me a birthday pressie!
many thanks
Steve
