My name is Charlotte O'Brien and I am running the Bournemouth Marathon on the 06/10/19 to raise funds for a Baton Twirling team called the Phoenix Twirlstars.

Phoenix Twirlstars are a non profit youth group and with the growing success rely on donations to help cover the costs of costumes and other essential items required.

My daughter Lila has been part of this team since 2017 and it has given her such enjoyment, confidence and of course lots of amazing new skills.

All the members of Phoenix Twirlstars are kind, helpful and treat each other like a family. This is an important part of the local community and deserves to be supported.

The teachers put in many hours to help support the growing team and this clearly shows what a passion for the sport everyone has.

I would like to offer my support by running the Bournemouth Marathon on the 06/10/19 and in return would be grateful for any donation big or small!

Thank you so much for your support xxx
