Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Family,

I’m reaching out to share that on October 13th, I’ll be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon. This isn’t just a personal challenge for me—though it certainly is that, given that running isn’t exactly my strong suit—but also an opportunity to support a cause that is incredibly important to me.

As many of you know, I’ve been with Marble Bar for over 18 years, and during that time, I’ve had the privilege of being part of a team that consistently rallies behind meaningful causes. One such cause is *Apart of Me*, a charity dedicated to supporting children, young people, and parents as they navigate the difficult journey of loss and trauma.

*Apart of Me* offers an innovative approach to grief support through their app, providing a safe space for users to explore their emotions, share their stories, and find hope during some of the most challenging times in life. However, to continue their vital work, they need ongoing funding.

That’s where I’m hoping you can help. By sponsoring my half marathon run, you’ll be directly contributing to *Apart of Me* and helping them extend their support to even more families in need. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference.

Your generosity will help me turn every mile I run into hope for someone who needs it.

Thank you all for your support—both in this endeavor and throughout the years. Let’s make a difference together!

Warm regards,

Dimitri
