My Story
This year (2020) I am actually going to put my money where my mouth is and run a decent distance for charity, something that does NOT come naturally to me anymore..
I could not think of a better charity to do this for. So if you would like to support me, but more importantly the work that the wonderful Alex Paske and her Mintridge Family do, then please read on to see what the charity does. If you are able and willing, we would all love if you could spare a few pounds to help us reach the target.
The Mintridge Foundation is a registered charity dedicated to enhancing life skills in young people through sport. We provide a support network for young people by harnessing the power of positive sporting role models. The Mintridge Foundation assists young people of all ages, abilities and physical capabilities to develop confidence and resilience, and creates awareness of the importance of mental and physical wellbeing through sport.
Our team of Ambassadors - Olympians, Paralympians and other professional sports stars from over 20 sports, both team and individual - work with young people in schools, clubs and academies across the UK. Starting with visits including assemblies, coaching clinics and classroom sessions tailored to each organisation’s requirements, our ambassadors can then provide one- on- one remote mentoring in a safeguarded environment, delivered via technology such as Skype and Playwaze to build a lasting legacy for individuals.
The Mintridge Foundation’s successes demonstrate the incredible power of sport; from a mentee’s selection to represent Great Britain in their chosen field to enabling disabled children to find confidence and happiness just through participation. Understanding life after sport, we also support our Ambassadors in their transition from active sport to the next stage of their careers.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this and I hope you are inspired as much as I am from the wonderful work they do... now time for me to get training!!!
