A teenager with cerebral palsy is on a mission to raise funds to give disabled children the freedom to run through frame running.
Using a running frame, children and adults with mobility challenges can experience the joy, freedom and independence of running – a feeling James Scammel describes as flying, free from limits and disability.
Inspired by this, James is fundraising £25,000 to support One Step Beyond, an inclusive frame running club that is part of Bournemouth Athletics Club.
This club empowers children and adults with disabilities to experience movement, build confidence, and join a supportive, active community.
To make this possible, James is seeking five generous companies to each contribute £5,000 toward purchasing Connie Hansen running frames in multiple sizes.
These high-quality frames will allow participants of all ages to take part in sessions — and even borrow frames between events to enjoy independence in daily life.
