Doncaster woman takes on 100-mile November challenge for Scope

A Doncaster woman is hoping to turn a month-long walking challenge into support for Scope, the charity that helps people with additional needs and their families. Kelsey Colbourne is aiming to cover 100 miles during November, saying she wanted to do something that would help raise awareness and encourage greater inclusion for people with additional needs. She said she has family members with additional needs and wanted to back a charity that works to make society fairer and more inclusive. Kelsey said: "I myself wanted to take on this challenge because their many individuals out there who think it’s okay to insult people with additional needs and isolate them from society. I myself have family members with additional needs and I want to raise awareness for them and others by making a difference in this cruel world and supporting a charity that works hard to make the world a fairer and more inclusive place for people with additional needs." She added that she hoped the effort would help people better understand equality and inclusion, and encouraged donations of any size. Kelsey said: "Every donation, no matter how big or small it is even if it just 50p would mean so much to us and could help make a real impact to people with additional needs life’s." She said she has been working during the week but still expects to complete the challenge. So far, she says she and those supporting her have covered almost 50 miles in 8 days.
