To support Handicap International’s ‘Every Step Counts’ fundraising campaign, President Elaine took to her mobility scooter for a sponsored ride around the perimeter of Marine Lake in Southport, a distance of 3 to 4 miles. She was accompanied by husband, dog (Bonnie the cocker spaniel) and assorted members of SI Southport and their families.
The ‘ Every Step Counts’ appeal aims to raise essential funds to help disabled and injured people walk again by supporting sustainable rehabilitation care in countries that need it most. And, until 18th July, every pound raised will be doubled by the UK government, enabling twice as many disabled children to walk again.
Through her efforts, Elaine has raised around £400 (the exact total yet to be determined) and this will be match funded.
