2010 Virgin London Marathon

25 April 2010

The Virgin London Marathon is one of the great British sporting events, combining elite athletics, mass participation and record-breaking fundraising in one race. The course is a gruelling 26 miles 385 yards long, passing through the streets of London from Blackheath to the famous finish line at The Mall. Since the first race in 1981, 746,635 runners have passed the finish line and raised more than £400 million for charities and good causes. Last year alone a staggering £47.2 million was raised, making the event a Guinness World Record holder as the largest annual fundraising event on the planet.

26 FOR WHIZZ-KIDZ

Fundraiser:

The aim of Whizz-Kidz is to support young people to access the right mobility equipment - including powered wheelchairs - at the right time; and deliver wheelchair skills-training, work placements, and other life-skills to help their transition from childhood to adulthood. I will be walking the Whizz Kidz mile with Arunima Misra. Arunima is 24 year-old trainee lawyer from London and first became involved with Whizz-Kidz at the age of 14 when they provided Arunima with her first power-wheelchair. Since that age, after seeing the dramatic transformation the power chair had on her independence, mobility and freedom, she decided to become more involved with the charity and the work that they do.  Arunima and I hope to raise awareness of what Whizz Kidz hopes to do; meet the mobility needs of the 70,000 disabled children and young people in the UK who need help; ensure that the young people they help get a range of skills to build their self-confidence, helping them to prepare for adult life and give disabled children and young people opportunities to meet, have fun and make friends. We hope you will donate and make a difference to thousands.
