The Great Wall of China Marathon - My Next Challenge - Would you please consider helping me raise £1000 for an inspiring charity "Finding your Feet"

The Great Wall Of China Marathon - May 16th 2015 

Charity Donation page - https://www.justgiving.com/SteviesGreatWall/

A Personal Growth strategy I have, is that each year I look to really test myself beyond my limits, Few Years ago I thought I had really reached a peak in testing myself, when I personally created and delivered a 3 day personal discovery Leadership event in Windsor castle for 29 business leaders. No words describe how that made me feel in pursuing and embarking on such a goal. Its where "Fear" becomes the motivator. This year I found a challenge and a cause that simply makes my heart skip a beat when I think of both........................... in fact I would go as far to say it makes me emotional just thinking about it.

The charity is called " Finding your feet"

The Challenge is " The Great wall of China Marathon" ( reported to be 3rd hardest in the world)

We have a challenge , I have never ran a marathon, and do not particularly like running........... LOL

Folks can you help me please ? I am raising funds for the charity " Finding your feet" - The Just Giving page - no matter how much you can give, it will go a massive way...

It would be massive if we were able to raise £1000 for this amazing charity...

Finding Your Feet was set up by friends and family of Corinne Hutton, a single mum of one who, in June 2013, had her hands and feet amputated as a result of septicaemia. From her hospital bed, Corinne (44) vowed that after getting herself fixed, she would help others facing life-changing trauma but who lack the support network from which she feels she has benefited.

Finding Your Feet is about giving a leg up to those who need help to find their feet again in life. We provide a ready-made support network and other means of assistance to those who find themselves facing life-changing trauma, whether through illness, injury or circumstance.  

Life-changing trauma is probably the most horrific thing that can happen to someone – not just for the individual, but for their family, friends and carers for whom the impact is often just as devastating.

What's even more difficult about life-changing trauma is how tough it is to overcome — physically, emotionally and, often, practically so that life may go on with some semblance of normality. The good news is that studies show you can be left feeling stronger and more positive following life-changing trauma due to the way you handle it.

HOW WE HELP            

Life-changing trauma can take many forms, including injury, amputation, paralysis or unexpected illness. Whatever your life-changing event, it can be tough to get your head around and to accept that life can, and will, continue, albeit perhaps not in quite the same way as before. That’s where we come in.

We aim to restore an individual’s lust for life following trauma using our well established support network, financial and emotional assistance.

We can work with people to help re-build their life, and to ‘find your feet’ in their new situation. We will assist them with setting, and ultimately achieving, challenging but realistic goals. We aim to provide direction, to point out new doors opening and help embrace the opportunities that lie through them despite the change in circumstances. We will help find the positive mental attitude needed to be all they can be and to boldly go where they never thought they could or would following life-changing trauma, whether that be through physical therapy, emotional support, guidance, rehabilitation or financial assistance.

My personal strategy in life has always been to help people, This is an opportunity for me to push myself beyond my limits and lucky enough to have a coach supporting me as well as my fellow friends who are true athletes in endurance events. It also gives me an opportunity to raise some funds for a charity and story that touched me deeply.Any support you can give would be appreciated. Regular updates on the training will be posted on
