Story

Sports and the ability to share the joys of sport (both watching and playing) have always been something we have been able to enjoy as a family. We have never had to worry about the challenges encountered by many children and families who are in wheelchairs and may not be able to afford or even find the right equipment to help them enjoy an inclusive and fulfilling life.

Please support our fundraising towards Whizz-Kidz' the UK’s leading charity for young wheelchair users. Born out of the founder's early fundraising efforts during the London marathon, Whizz-Kids helps provide wheelchairs for the estimated 75,000 youths who require a wheelchair to be mobile. Your support will help provide the right wheelchair which can help avoid dependence on others, social isolation, poor mental health, pain, and injury. Please sponsor me and help transform young people's lives and unlock a young person's potential

Since 2011 Jeff Englander has been running to raise money for various charities to leave his children a stronger kinder world. To date, he has personally raised over $25,000. This year he is happy to welcome his sons to join him as that tradition continues into the next generation.
