Get Kids Going! is a National charity
which gives disabled children and young people - up to
the age of 26 yrs - the wonderful opportunity of
participating in sport.
We help promote sports for disabled
children by providing them with specially built sports’
wheelchairs so they can do marathons, triathlons,
tennis, athletics, mountain skiing, rugby, basketball
etc. Get Kids Going! also helps and encourages British
disabled children to compete by supporting them with
their sports; training, physiotherapy, travel, design
and development of sports’ wheelchairs. With your help
many could become record holders and Paralympic
champions!
Get Kids Going! also provides
personalised manual wheelchairs and trikes for children
to use every day; at home, at school, and to enable them
to play with their friends. We believe that all disabled
children and young people should receive the right
equipment to get them going!
We support children with all
disabilities and make sure that any equipment which is
out grown is recycled to other children, so supporters’
valuable donations are never wasted.
Did you know...
Over 200,000 disabled children and
young people in Britain need the help of Get Kids Going!
They desperately want special manual wheelchairs, trikes
and other mobility equipment. Also another 50,000
disabled children and youngsters need sports wheelchairs
to let them compete in their chosen sport.
The cost of a sports wheelchair is
about £3,000. A lightweight manual wheelchair is around
£2,000 and a trike £800. All are designed individually,
and perform... just like a Formula 1 Racing Car!
Thank you
Our work would not be possible if it
wasn’t for the hundreds of runners who support Get Kids
Going! throughout the year by running the Virgin London Marathon, Paris Marathon, BUPA
Great North Run, Chicago Marathon,
London
Triathlon, New York Marathon, taking part
in L'Etape
du Tour and the many other events and marathons
worldwide. And also the numerous companies, trusts,
schools and individuals who kindly give us such valuable
donations and support. We’d like to say a ‘big thank
you’ to you all.
