Meet Jake.

At just 12 years old, Jake was told he’d never walk—let alone run. Born with a severe spinal condition, mobility was a daily challenge. But Jake had a dream: he wanted to race. Not just in a local fun run—he wanted to complete a marathon.

With the help of Get Kids Going!, that dream became a reality. The charity provided Jake with a state-of-the-art racing wheelchair, professional coaching, and the support network he needed. Fast forward two years, and Jake crossed the finish line of the London Marathon, arms raised, tears in his eyes, with thousands cheering him on.

Jake didn’t just finish a race. He proved to the world—and himself—that disability doesn’t mean inability.

Now it’s time to help more kids like Jake.

Get Kids Going! is a UK-based charity dedicated to giving disabled children and young people the equipment, training, and support they need to participate in sports.
