Thompson Smith and Puxon is pleased to be supporting the Wheeler Way Walk, a unique race for people with significant physical disabilities, which is being organised by Toby Wheeler, who himself has cerebral palsy. The Wheeler Way Walk will take place at the Sports Arena at the University of Essex from 2 p.m. on Saturday 4th May 2019. For more details on how to enter and to receive an entry form contact Toby on wheelerwaywalk@gmail.com.

Raising money for Team Angus, Toby’s event will give others in the same situation as Toby the chance to enter a race that will accommodate their disabilities; Toby has made it his priority to eliminate as many barriers to entry as possible. He is training hard for the event and anticipates that the 400m course will take him approximately 30 minutes to complete. He hopes he will inspire those who have never before considered entering a race due to their disability to join him. It is not a race of time but an achievement of distance and confidence for everyone taking part, all of whom will be rewarded with a medal, certificate, goodie bag and T-shirt.
