A marathon is a daunting prospect for anyone, let alone for 2 teenage girls running the London marathon! The training will of course be gruelling but for these two competitive rowers it should be a doddle. But this is what I admire the most about these girls. Their pure dedication and willingness to complete this marathon, and the least we can do for them is donating some money to their cause – Sports Aid. Jo and Daisy hope to raise money by conducting various events like Mufti days and regular cake sales and any support is much appreciated!
Sports Aid is an excellent charity that focuses on ‘helping the sports stars of tomorrow, today’. Their aim is to provide money for upcoming sports stars during the early parts of their careers. Sports Aid also helps disabled sportsmen to achieve their sporting dreams. This is a brilliant charity for Jo and Daisy to run for.
I think we can all take a leaf out of these two exceptional girls’ book and realise that we can make a difference in the world. We don’t have to go to extreme lengths; but we can change someone’s life so easily. These two girls are beyond admirable and I really look up to them.
