Story
Welcome to Run for Chloe. A charity race to raise much needed rehabilitation funds for a life changing operation that will give one special little girl a second chance. A second chance to walk, run and dance like all seven year old girls deserve.
The idea was born two days after the marriage of Matthew and Kelly. Matthew being one of our closest childhood friends, and Kelly being Chloe’s older sister. Chloe, the most beautiful flower girl captured the hearts of Cocky’s five childhood friends along the way, with her determination, spirit, character and contagious smile.
Chloe suffers from cerebral palsy. The condition prevents her from standing or walking unaided without her K-frame. Despite the obstacles she faces everyday, Chloe perseveres in leading a normal life.
Chloe truly is a remarkable little girl, she became the first disabled child in the country to take and pass her pre-primary ballet award, using her walking frame. The Royal Ballet asked to meet with her, to meet the little girl who just wants to dance with other children her age and skill, instead of the awful dance partners she had to put up with at the wedding!!
Since the wedding six friends have vowed to make this girl’s dream come true. To walk, run, play and dance, with the freedom that all children deserve.
The challenge we have set ourselves is to run from Matthew’s house in St. Just, Cornwall to Chloe’s house in Gloucester. A total of 271 miles, in under 48 hours, none-stop. And this is where you come in. We’re asking for your support to make Chloe’s dream come true.
Our aim is to raise £10,000 towards the extraordinary costs needed to fund Chloe's two year rehabilitation programme. Although a large sum, sadly this is only 1/5 of the total needed…
Please donate, share, and follow our progress as we count down to the big race. Any donation, big or small, takes us one step closer.
Let's help give Chloe a second chance.
