In an exciting initiative, a local roller skating group is gearing up to host a 24-hour roller disco to support “BBC Children in Need.” This fundraising event aims to provide assistance to children in need across the country.
About the Event
The 24-hour roller disco is set to begin on 8 November at 14:00 GMT and conclude at the same time the following day. The group has been preparing extensively, with members participating in daily training sessions.
Preparation and Training
Participants are stocking up on energy drinks and blister plasters to ensure they are ready for the physical challenge. Many younger members are training for three to six hours, while adults aim for up to 12 hours. Some ambitious participants are committed to skating the full 24 hours, albeit with necessary breaks.
Supporting a Good Cause
Activist Ms. O’Brien emphasized the importance of the event, stating, “We’re very lucky that we’re able to skate for 24 hours. There are many people who need that little bit of extra help.” The roller skating group is motivated by the desire to support a worthy cause and to help children who face challenging starts in life.
