Why do it?

“I grew up with a brother who has severe learning disabilities and is a wheelchair-user. His condition results from an allergic reaction to a 3-in-1 childhood immunisation injection he received when he was six months old."

" Given these circumstances, I can attest to how the individual attention and quality of care the residents of Martha Trust receive, as well as the family community, has a very positive impact on the residents’ well-being. I am highly motivated to complete the Challenge and raise the funds needed to support the Martha Trust and further its very special compassionate work for those who rely on it.”

To date, ‘Grosvenor’, ‘Morley’, ‘Slaughter and May’, ‘Nabarro’, ‘CBRE’ and ‘KPMG’ have agreed corporate sponsorships, with additional support secured from ‘Science in Sport (SIS)’ and ‘SphericalOnline.com’ . Specifically, these funds will allow for the purchase of specialist equipment and the support of new care home building projects to accommodate more residents with profound disabilities.
