Why contribute to our charity?
We Change Lives!
We run track events which empower differently-abled people of all ages
This gives them a chance to forget, if only for a little while, that they have a disability.
We give a person a respite from the nay-sayers, the fun police, the sceptics, and we say YES. YES! You can drive a car. YES! You can be in control. YES! You can be like everyone else.
And it’s that last phrase, that last sentence, that is the most important thing that we bring to people. A chance to say YES! I did that! YES! I can do what you do. A chance to perhaps think… if I can drive that car around a race track, if I can drive that buggy over that off-road track, what else can I do? What else is possible?
The answer? Anything! Everything!
Self-worth Self-belief
Self-worth is at the basis of our very thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It drives our personalities. It is, therefore, an important part of our lives. When people take part in a sporting or physical activity, it improves their self-esteem, physical and mental well-being and helps their social interaction.
Our events are social occasions
A chance to cheer others on. A chance to chat and laugh and enjoy being a part of something, included in something. A chance to see that there are others out there struggling with the same issues, the same barriers and talking together about how we overcome and prevail. Sometimes the greatest gift you can give a person is to simply include them.
