  • A training schedule
  • Fundraising resources, ideas and advice

You will be given a place with Team Whizz-Kidz based on the merit of your application. You will be expected to raise a minimum pledge of £1600 (which is one of the lowest in the sector) and pay a £100 registration fee to secure your place with us.

Thank you Team Whizz-Kidz 2013!!

A huge well done to everyone who took part in the London Marathon this year, you are an inspiration to us all. You did a fantastic job and we are hugely grateful for all the months of hard work you have put in.

Enduring the warmer climate on Sunday 21st April was one of the many challenges facing the team this year and it was no mean feat to get around the course. We hope our cheer-points along the way helped to spur you on – in particular mile 23 where all of our lovely young ambassadors were cheering from!

So, for everyone that took part, here at Whizz-Kidz, we think you are all amazing!

 Let’s make 2013 our best year yet!

The £1.1 million we hope to raise this year from the London Marathon will go a long way to transforming the lives of young, disabled people all over the country, so thank you and please do all you can to help us smash our target.

We recently sent out a questionnaire to all of our London Marathon 2013 participants, so please do fill this out and let us know your thoughts.

A little bit of admin.

Thank you so much for all the fundraising you have done so far. And thank you to those of you who have already reached their target.

For our charity place runners, the deadline for paying in the minimum of £1600 is 21st May 2013. We will, of course, still accept funds over and above £1600 after that date.

Don’t forget to update your pledge by paying in your sponsorhip and sending out your online page again for a final push (perhaps with a photo of you after you’ve completed the race). Most fundraisers find they make an extra 20% after the event so now is the perfect time to ask your friends to dig deep again with proof you made it round!

If you have been collecting funds by using sponsorship forms then you can pay in this money by clicking on the above link  and then send the sponsorship forms to the address here. Any cheques or charity vouchers made payable to ‘Whizz-Kidz’ can also be sent to us with an accompanying note with your name and quoting the London Marathon 2013.
