Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

Life has a way of challenging us in the most unexpected ways. For my family, the biggest challenge came with the birth of our precious baby girl, who was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), a life-threatening genetic disorder that affects the lungs and digestive system. Every day, she battles for the simple breath of life that so many of us take for granted.

In Charlie's honour, I am running a half marathon to raise funds for the incredible charity dedicated to finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. This organization works tirelessly to advance research, improve treatments, and ultimately, find a cure for this devastating disease. But they can’t do it alone – they need our help.

Why Your Support Matters:

Hope for a Cure: Your donation will directly fund groundbreaking research aimed at discovering a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, giving children like my daughter a chance at a healthier, longer life.

Improving Quality of Life: Contributions help develop and provide access to life-changing treatments that can significantly enhance the quality of life for those living with CF.

Support and Education: Funds also support educational programs and resources for families affected by CF, ensuring they have the knowledge and tools to manage this condition effectively.

My Commitment:

Training for a half marathon is no small feat, but it pales in comparison to the daily struggles faced by those with Cystic Fibrosis. Each step I take, each mile I conquer, will be driven by my love for my daughter and my hope for her future. I am determined to cross that finish line, not just for her, but for all families affected by CF.

How You Can Help:

Donate: No amount is too small. Every £ brings us closer to a cure.

Spread the Word: Share our story with your network. The more people who know, the greater our impact.

Join Us: Whether you run, walk, or simply cheer from the sidelines, your support in any form is invaluable.

Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can give my daughter, and thousands like her, a chance at a brighter future.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your generosity and support. Let’s run for hope, run for a cure, and run for the love of my little girl... run for Charlie.

Thank you,

Graham
