I'm fundraising for Scope
There are 16 million disabled people in the UK. That’s one in four of us. Yet disabled people are still more likely to be out of work, face higher living costs, and have to battle for support that should never have been so difficult to access in the first place.
That needs to change.
So, in what can only be described as a spectacular lapse in judgement, I’ve signed up to run the London Marathon for Scope.
I’ll be voluntarily putting myself through 26.2 miles of pain, blisters, questionable decisions and the slow realisation that I could have taken up knitting instead.
The difference is, my suffering will be over in a few hours. For millions of disabled people, the barriers they face don’t disappear when they cross a finish line.
That’s why I’m asking for your support.
Every pound you donate helps Scope challenge disability inequality, change attitudes and build a fairer society where disabled people have the same opportunities as everyone else.
If you can spare a few quid, I’d be incredibly grateful. If not, I’ll still have to run it… but I’d much rather do it knowing it was worth every painful step.
