How you can support Disability Essex

Disability Essex relies on the money it raises to help ensure the continued delivery of services to and for disabled people in Essex. The financial support we receive from Trusts, Foundations, Local Authorities and European funders cannot be guaranteed but, without this assistance, the charity could be left vulnerable and with insufficient income to assist all the people needing our support and advice.

Great South Run 2008

Portsmouth, Sunday 26th October 2008

A big congratulation and thank you is in order for our ‘superheroes’ running team who successfully completed their challenge of running 10 miles in the Great South Run in Portsmouth last Sunday. Claire, Tom, Matt, Lynsey and Gareth completed the course in times ranging from 1 hour 19 minutes to 2 hours, whilst raising over £1,300 so far in sponsorship for Disability Essex.

“There were times when our legs felt like lead and our feet were painfully sore but knowing we had already raised so much money kept us going all the way round,” remarked Claire.

The team would like to thank everyone who has sponsored them already, and would also like to appeal to anyone who might still be interested in supporting them after the event to help them reach their £1,500 target. You can visit JustGiving where you can donate online safely and securely. Or if you prefer you can send a cheque direct to Disability Essex at the Centre for Disability Studies, Adult Community College, Rocheway, Rochford, Essex, SS4 1DQ.

To read a more detailed account of the team’s Great South Run experience, have a look at our October newsletter which you can download from the Disability Essex News page.

Thank you for your support!
