23 January Update:
We were sorry to see Mark leave the competition on Sunday – he was gaining in confidence and trying really hard. Bad luck, but we’re proud of you.
…It’s up to Sam to fly the Whizz-Kidz Patron flag now!
Good luck, and well done to both boys.
Original post:
Whizz-Kidz Patrons – BAFTA nominated Children‘s TV presenters & radio favourites Sam Nixon & Mark Rhodes – are signed up to compete in this year’s ITV’s Dancing On Ice!
The pair – better known as Sam & Mark – have been working with the charity since 2010. Their championing and fundraising activity already includes; performing an exclusive tribute gig in aid of Mark’s late nephew (a beneficiary of Whizz-Kidz); attending wheelchair skills training sessions and meeting young ambassadors; Mark running the Virgin London Marathon for the charity in 2011; and both launching the Whizz-Kidz Neon Nightwalk.
The duo have raised well over £10,000 for the charity since their involvement, which is incredible.
Sam is also following in Mark’s footsteps (literally!) and running the 2012 Marathon himself for Whizz-Kidz!
We’re hoping for an injury-free Dancing on Ice competition – for both boys – and wish them all the best in the contest. They have the full support of all of our young people, families, friends, staff and supporters!
Follow the boys’ progress on Twitter on their official profile: @SamandMark TV, as well as Sam’s skating partner @AlexandraLukasz and Mark’s partner @FrankieSK8 .
We’ll be tweeting encouragingly too from @WhizzKidz
