Every year, we ask all students to set themselves a sporting challenge involving the number 26 and to collect sponsorship to go towards our collective fundraising effort.
This year we will be raising money for Get Kids Going. Get Kids Going! is a national charity which gives disabled children and young people, up to the age of 26 years, the wonderful opportunity of participating in sport. They provide them with specially built sports wheelchairs so they can do: athletics, marathons, tennis, skiing, curling, rugby, sailing, boccia, basketball, snowboarding, table tennis, fencing, shooting, archery, powerlifting and many more sports.
Get Kids Going! inspires disabled youngsters to compete in sporting events, from start to paralympic level, by also giving them sports grants to help with their training, physiotherapy, sports psychology, travel, competition fees and the design and development of sportsā equipment. With your help, many can become world record holders and paralympic champions.
