"Running with my friends and thousands of other women, knowing that I was raising money to help children that struggle to communicate was exhilarating. It was great fun and the hairs on the back of your neck stand up as you cross the finish line!"

Congratulations

Congratulations to all our runners for completing the adidas Women’s 5K Challenge 2011 on Sunday September 2011. You should be extremely proud of your fantastic achievements and we would like to say a HUGE thank you for running for I CAN!

It was wonderful to see everyone go past our cheering point and we really enjoyed celebrating with everyone at the post race picnic.


How your support makes a difference

Fundraising from events like the adidas Women’s 5K Challenge 2011 goes to help support projects like I CAN’s Extra Time Programme. The programme allows children that would normally find it very difficult to join in and make friends to partake in after school activities. This has made a real difference to children like Harry:

"Before most children would single Harry out or reject him. I CAN has really changed this through the 'Extra Time' scheme they provide. He has others to join in with, which has made the world of difference to his confidence."
Harry's Mum
