Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit The Run Squad Just Giving page in support of local children's charity Whoopsadaisy.
Whoopsadaisy aims to develop the independence, confidence and self-esteem of children with physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy. We are the only charity in East Sussex offering Conductive Education - a system of learning which, building upon children’s existing abilities and skills, helps prepare them for tackling the challenges of everyday life more independently.
The Run Squad is a 200+ strong, free local running club with community at the heart of everything we do.
Yes, we run but over the last three years we have also learnt we are nearly as good at raising money for charity as we are at running.
In 2015 by chance we came across a lovely local charity, whoopsadaisy that was and still is very much in need of help. Both financially and also to raise it's profile within our community.
We believe in fate and whoopsadaisy struck the heart strings of myself and my husband Nick and we just had to turn our attention to HELP this marvellous, small, local charity that does such good for those children and families less fortunate than our own.
During 2015 The Run Squad ran many many races, had several memorable parties and ran more races and raised a staggering £11,000 for our much loved Whoopsadaisy.
NOW for 2016 we are taking that £11,000 and pledging to raise a further £14,000 to hit £25,000 by December 31st 2016. This year will be a repeat of 2015 but with MORE running, some very special personal challenges for our members and SOOO many more parties and by hook or by crook we will hit that £25,000 WE PROMISE.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read our story.
