Charitie(s) Supported: Get Kids Going,
Thanks for visiting our fundraising page. We are running the Royal Park's London Half Marathon for a great charity called Get Kids Going! in October 2009. We're raising money jointly, so, if you want, you can sponsor us twice if you know both of us!! Please give as much as you can afford as this is a great charity that does great work for kids that want to be as active as we fortunately are. They provide equipment for disabled kids to be as active as possible, they need your support and your money will go direct to them pretty much immediately. Why wait?!! Get Kids Going are a national charity which gives disabled children and young people - up to the age of 26 - the wonderful opportunity to participate in sport. They provide specially built sports wheelchairs so they can do marathons, triathlons, tennis, athletics, mountain skiing, rugby, sailing, water skiing, basketball and many more sports. Get Kids Going! also helps and encourages British disabled children to compete in sporting events by giving them 'sports grants' to help with their training, physiotherapy, travel, competition fees, design and development of sports wheelchairs etc. With your help many could become world record holders and paralympic champions! Get Kids Going! also provides personalised manual wheelchairs and trikes for children to use every day: at home, at school, and to enable them to play with their friends. We believe that all disabled children and young people should receive the right equipment to get them going! Over 200,000 disabled children and young people in Britain need the help of Get Kids Going! They desperately want special manual wheelchairs, trikes and other mobility equipment. Also another 50,000 disabled children and youngsters need sports wheelchairs to let them compete in their chosen sport. The cost of a sports wheelchair is about £3,000. A lightweight manual wheelchair is around £2,000 and a trike £800. So please dig deep and donate now.
