NEW YORK MARATHON FUNDRAISER - 4th NOVEMBER 2018
On 4th November 2018 Caroline Canty (from Stockport, UK), will be running in the New York marathon to raise funds for Usher Kids UK.
https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/caroline-canty
The money raised will be used to host the largest ever UK gathering of children with Usher syndrome in June 2019. This family event, organised by Usher Kids UK, will provide kids and their families with a unique opportunity to have a day entirely focused on them and their needs. For once, support services will come to them, rather than the other way around. For families living with a rare and potentially isolating condition, even a single connection can change their outlook and the journey ahead. At this event, a network of people that understand their unique challenges will be on their doorstep, rather than at the other end of the country or globe. This first event represents an important milestone in the community finding strength in each other, and taking ownership of the solutions to the challenges faced.

THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING A DONATION
Usher Kids UK aims to bring together families of children with Usher syndrome in UK. It is an entirely volunteer-led support group, with no overhead costs. Any donations received will go directly towards the costs of outreach work with families and professionals, such as provision of the website, and printing promotional material. At this stage the organisation does not have charity status, so we are unable to receive gift aid on donations.
