On Saturday the 10th July the Ten Team took part in the WAMDSAD wheelchair push. A great day was had by all and we collected many great messages of support for the charity- which you can read below. We also met the Mayor of Maidenhead and Theresa May MP (The Home Secretary) who were kind enough to add their support to our campaign.

Welcome to our Campaign page!

Who are we?

We are a group of people from the Ten Group in Maidenhead. Over the next few weeks we are working on a Campaign to raise the profile of WAMDSAD in the local area, help with their fundraising, and specifically to get teams to sign up to their annual fundraising event- the Wheelchair Push on the 10th July.

Why WAMDSAD?

WAMDSAD is a sports club providing facilities for physically and sensorially disabled people in the district of The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and surrounding areas.

Their members’ include all types of physically and sensorially disabled people covering a whole range of disabilities – the blind, the deaf, amputees, heart disease, paraplegics, tetraplegics, multiple sclerosis: the list is endless. But not only disabled people – their families and friends too, supporters, coaches, escorts, helpers, and volunteers of all sorts.

One of their key objectives is to promote awareness of disability through sport and recreation and particularly integration of disabled and able-bodied people. From its very inception WAMDSAD has had members in Team GB at every Paralympics- bringing home medals of every colour. With the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics on the horizon their work will be more vital than ever over the next few years.

In a nutshell, we believe that WAMDSAD deserves a bit of Thanks for the amazing work they do. If we can have a bit of fun and raise some much needed funds over the coming weeks then all the better.
