ARCOS  is a national charity.  We work with children and adults who have communication and eating (swallowing)  difficulties, their families, carers and others involved.  ARCOS provides information, advice, practical help,  specialist therapy, training and other services not  readily available elsewhere.

Congratulations to James Price, who successfully completed the 2012 Virgin London Marathon on behalf of ARCOS. James was pleased to complete the first half in two hours but needed the support of the crowd to complete the last few miles of the 26.2 mile course. A big "thank you" to everyone who supported and cheered on all the runners - you made all the difference! More details here.

James, a member of the Everyone Active team at Malvern Splash, will be undertaking more events for ARCOS, including a 5km swim at Malvern Splash on 28th April followed by the Mud Runner Oblivion at Eastnor Castle - this is a 6(ish) mile punishing cross country course, interspersed with ten different tests of strength, endurance and co-ordination!

James will be raising funds to help improve life for children and adults who have communication or swallowing problems caused by conditions that range from cerebral palsy to head injury, stroke and motor neurone disease.

You can support James, and ARCOS, online at JustGiving.
