The Children's Trust Tadworth

The Ultra Marathon is a life experience that both James and I are looking forward to. The challenge of running three consecutive Marathons through a desert in a day is something we both take very seriously. That said, we would take great pride in knowing that people who simply havent had the opportunities we enjoy, can benefit from this event. We will run the race, but to make it more than just a hollow sports event, we need your support. Please send what you can to this deserving Charity using the JustGiving link on this page or visiting http://www.justgiving.com/adriannamibianultra. Thank you.

Please read on for more about The Children's Trust...

The Children’s Trust is a national charity working with children who have multiple disabilities and complex health needs. They are based in Tadworth, Surrey but offer their services to children from across the UK.

The Trust offers a unique combination of skills and experience in meeting the complex needs of children with profound disabilities. Their services comprise of:

  • Short, medium and long term residential care and therapy
  • Residential rehabilitation for children with an acquired brain injury
  • Community-based rehabilitation for children returning to home/school after a brain injury
  • Special education for pupils with profound and multiple learning disabilities at St Margaret’s School
  • Short breaks (either in Tadworth or in the family home)
  • Hospice/ palliative care
One of their most recent fundraising challenges is to raise £7.2 million to build a new national rehabilitation centre for children with aquired brain injuries. This new centre will be a wonderful purpose designed environment where the children can come to receive round the clock medical care and still enjoy space to play and be with their families.
