"Dear All
I am writing to ask you if you would be prepared to donate something to an
Auction of Promises that we are holding in Toft at the Social Club on
10.4.10 to raise funds to send Charlotte Cox to Mexico to take part in the
1st World Games for Athletes with Down Syndrome.
Charlotte is 19 years old lives in Toft (Cambridgeshire) with her family.
Charlotte went to Comberton VC and now goes to Cambridge Regional College.
Charlotte has a great interest in Athletics, she trains 3-4 times a week
with Cambridge and Coleridge Athletics club. Charlotte competes for the club
in "Ordinary" competitions and does very well, but it is in the disability
arena she excels.
She has been selected by The Down Syndrome International Organisation (
http://www.dsiso.org/Calandar.htm ) to represent GB in the 1st World
Games for Athletes with Down Syndrome the event is in Mexico in September
2010 and we are fundraising to cover the cost of £1000 to send Charlotte to
these games.
In 2009
she competed in the 3 National Championships for Athletes with a
disability and won Gold and Silver Medals in them all: |
