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
