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.

BUPA Great South Run 2008

Location: Portsmouth Date: Sunday 26th October 2008

This October, our Fundraiser Claire Hammond and her partner Tom Addis will be running the BUPA Great South Run along with three other supporters of Disability Essex – Gareth Hunter, Matthew Addis and Lynsey Van Praag.

They will be pounding the pavements of Portsmouth in superhero outfits to complete the fast 10-mile coastal race and they aim to raise around £1,500 if not more.

Great South Run 2008

Claire told us, “We are all really looking forward to the challenge of the race but also the task of raising as much money as possible for Disability Essex. As fundraiser I am often asking other people to undertake daunting events in order to support such a worthwhile charity so I thought it was about time I did something myself!”

“I’ve never run 10 miles before but Tom and I are starting training this month and will be asking for tips from Matt in the team as he has run marathons all across the world including London and New York.”

Could you support our running team by sponsoring them for this event?

Every penny raised will be used directly to provide services that improve the lives of people with disabilities in Essex. We are so proud of our runners and would like to thank anyone in advance for supporting them with sponsorship, however much you can spare.

To support Disability Essex you can visit JustGiving, or use the 'Donate' button above, to donate online safely and securely. Or if you prefer you can send a cheque for the total of your collected donations direct to Disability Essex at the Centre for Disability Studies, Adult Community College, Rocheway, Rochford, Essex, SS4 1DQ.

Thank you for your support!
