Path to Success has chosen the club as its annual cause and is raising money to buy special wheelchairs for the club, which plays in the National Super League and has been the home of several Paralympians, including Ade Adepitan MBE.
The London Titans run six teams at three venues across the capital: The Olympic Park; Stanmore; and Ealing. The Titans feature a number of the sport's leading names, including Tyler Saunders and Gaz Choudhry, as well as newer names in the GB squad, such as Jim Palmer and Christy Gregan.
However, the club has no money to fund wheelchairs for aspiring players. Designed for maximum mobility, they are the lightest wheelchairs on the market and are specially made to fit a player's posture. They cost up to £4000 each and even the cheapest cost £1500.
Chairman Jaspal Dhani said: "The support we're getting from Path to Success will allow us to provide special wheelchairs to new players who want to have a go".
Path to Success was founded 10 years ago by Anita Choudhrie and has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for good causes in the UK and abroad. The London Titans is its nominated charity this year and fundraising events will include a Diwali casino party and a charity auction. A team of 12 will take on the Three Peaks Challenge in August, climbing the three highest peaks in England, Wales and Scotland in 24 hours.
