Kizzy Blue's Bridge Challenge
Donation protected
A Bridge Too Far..............
Kizzy Blue Wade is 11 years old and is going to complete three bridge crossings in her manual racing wheelchair, she has organised a bridge push in England, Scotland and Wales over three consecutive Sundays in March.
The bridges will be:
The Humber Bridge in Hull
The Forth Road Bridge in Scotland
The Severn Bridge in Wales
She will be pushing herself across the bridges totally independently, anyone who knows Kizzy Blue will realise just how hard this challenge will be for her.
Kizzy is a full time wheelchair user who has Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, this means the cerebral palsy affects all four of her limbs and so pushing a manual wheelchair for this distance will be a true endurance test for her.
And so, she is asking for your support in doing this in the way of sponsorship, she is fundraising for sports equipment and in particular for a sit ski. Kizzy trains and competes in many sports including swimming, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair racing, powerchair football and sit skiing, unfortunately these sports are very expensive and so she is wanting to raise the funds for her own sit ski to enable her to achieve her potential and begin competing. At the moment Kizzy is having to borrow equipment when it is available, but unfortunately it isn't the correct size and isn't ideal for her disability, in order for her to reach her potential she requires a sit ski that is correct for her size, weight and disability.
Any sponsorship is very very gratefully received.
