"The reason I am hoping to raise £5,000 through running these marathons is to enable our disability youngsters to have the best possible experience with our charity.
"At this current time, families of the disabled children pay a small fee for the sessions and it would be a dream of mine to give the families of those youngsters at least ten weeks' worth of free sessions.
"The sessions alone give each young person an unbelievable amount of self-confidence and overwhelming happiness.
"Just seeing that smile on their faces alone, I know that this is one of the most beneficial things I could do to make this dream come true for the children and their families.
"I want them to have access to the best facilities and equipment Shrewsbury Town in the Community can offer them through raising my target amount of £5,000." Jade said:
Shrewsbury Town in the Community would like to thank Salop Leisure for contributing £500 towards the entry fees of the 21 half marathons.
