Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Blunham Runners are a group of mums who just enjoy running socially. Between them they have run 27 marathons and numerous half marathons. This will be the first London Marathon for Fiona and Sam.
We have decided to run the London Marathon for St Elizabeth’s Centre. St. Elizabeth’s is the only national organisation providing care, education and recreation for disadvantaged children and adults with severe epilepsy and other complex needs, including autism and dementia. Their aim is to provide more than just basic care; they want to provide an environment that will help their children to have the maxim quality of life and to realise their fullest potential.
This year they would like to provide an Inclusive Playground for their children; one with swings, trampolines and roundabouts, which can be easily accessed by those in wheelchairs and those with limited mobility.
An inclusive playground will ultimately provide the children with the social and creative environment to develop the skills required for independence, language and reduce stress. Once complete, the playground will be available to all 280 members of the St Elizabeth’s community.
The total cost of this inclusive playground is £120,000. We would like to raise money towards a wheelchair swing to go in the playground at a cost of £4,450.
Please help us to provide these wonderful children, who are less fortunate than our own with some fun!
