"The training sessions and matches organised by Cricket for Change have been enormously beneficial to our son's physical and emotional development. This has meant that, as parents, we have seen fantastic changes in his ability, confidence and independence."
Up, Up and Away to Jamaica with Cricket for Change
Feb 18, 2010
A frenzy of coloured balloons covered the skies over Lord's Cricket Ground on Wednesday 17th February 2010. The release of the balloons was to launch a number of fundraising activities for the Cricket for Change 2010 Jamaica Cricket VI Development Tour.
With the high winds experienced at Lords on the launch day and throughout February, the winning balloon managed to travel 222 miles to Bampton in Devon.
The owner of the winning balloon was Mrs B from West Sussex who has duly been presented with a cheque for £100. Over 550 balloons were sold and a fantastic £1150 was raised with all proceeds going towards the Jamaica tour.
The 2010 Jamaica tour, which follows on from the successful trip that Cricket for Change organised to Barbados in 2008 when they took a young visually impaired development team to play against the West Indies and Barbados Visually Impaired teams.
Cricket for Change now hopes to raise enough money to take two teams to experience international cricket, one team where the young cricketers are visually impaired and the other where youngsters experience moderate learning and physical disabilities.
