Fundraising for SCOPE by doing a Ultra Marathon!

About SCOPE and why I want to help raise money to support them

On October 7th 2012 I am going to be running  the London Royal Parks ULTRA Marathon  (yes, not just a normal marathon for normal people, this is one for the slightly un-hinged)!

The distance is 50km and my fundraising is 70% for SCOPE

SCOPE works with disabled people, of all ages, and their families, across England and Wales
Able's story

When Able and his mum contacted Scope, their lives were transformed. Ever since his diagnosis with cerebral palsy, his mum's been determined not to let him miss out on anything. We share that determination.

We take him riding, swimming and to his youth club. With the right support he has these opportunities - and as long as this support continues, we know Able will keep on enjoying his freedom and independence.

A donation of -

£10 could pay for calls from concerned parents of newly diagnosed children

£15 could support a disabled child to take part in confidence-building activities such as attending Brownies

£20 could pay for an hour's home visit to offer advice and assistance to parents

£270 could pay for a home visit to families with a newly diagnosed child with cerebral palsy.

£450 could support 10 disabled people to train for work.

£1,700 could give a disabled child their first fully adapted trike.

£3,000 could buy a communication aid to help disabled students learn and develop.

Please follow the below link if you can help me support Able and people like him, whilst also having the thought of me in a lot of pain on the 7th of October 2012!


Thanks,

Mark
