Go far, be a star
How far will you go in National Star’s new annual fundraising challenge? Run, walk, swim, cycle, hop, skip, scoot or go far however and wherever you like. Whether it’s one mile or 100. You choose the challenge, you decide the distance.
Take part on your own or with colleagues, friends or family any time between now and July 2023. At the end of the challenge, National Star students will decide who wins a Go Far award – including ‘The one who surprised us the most’ and the ‘The one who went the furthest.’
There’s no registration fee and no fundraising target. Raise money, tot up your miles and share your photos and progress with us!
The personal learning journeys of National Star students are momentous. Some learn to communicate by email using Eye Gaze technology, others learn how to drive their wheelchair independently to go out without a care worker controlling their direction of travel.
Go far, be a star is our celebration of their journey. The collective miles we cover during the year will help support future students to reach their full potential.
The money raised this year will go towards our Building a Brighter Future Appeal to build new specialist accommodation on our Ullenwood campus by summer 2023. Your generous support will help us provide the best possible facilities to enable young people with complex disabilities to progress, grow and flourish.
