Story

Hello lovely people!

I have been lucky enough to win a ballot place in this year's London Marathon. I'll be raising money this time around for both Care for Kids North Devon and The Penguin Sports Foundation - two incredible local charities who mean a lot to our family.

Care for Kids: http://www.careforkidsnorthdevon.org.uk/

The Penguin Sports Foundation: http://thepenguinsportsfoundation.co.uk/

Care For Kids have been part of our lives for over 9 years now. From the moment Immy was diagnosed in February 2014, they have been there for us to help out with the financial burden of being away, with a sick child, in a hospital far from home. They have helped out with subsequent, unexpected trips and stays on Bristol Children's Hospital since then, and we will always be so grateful to the whole team for their support.

Last year, The Penguin Sports Foundation** enabled Immy to access her first ever athletics club. The brainchild of one of Immy's incredible physios, Gemma Rous, the foundation helps to fund accessible sport for children and young adults, with physical disabilities, as well as providing theraputic activity in the form of aquatic physiotherapy. Immy attends a Frame Running Club every Thursday at Braunton Athletics track, with others who have a range of different mobility needs. We have seen her selp-confidence grow enormously since joining - it's been an absolute joy to watch.

**They are currently in the process of registering for their charity number so unfortuately I cannot link any donations made here to them. HOWEVER!! If you click on the link below, it will take you directly to their GoFundMe page:

Thank you all so much for taking the time to visit my page. Your donation, no matter what the amount, will be making a real difference to a lot of amazing children and their families.

Big love
