SARAH TO RUN THE LONDON MARATHON 12 April 2023 |
|
Cookham resident, Sarah Parfitt, is
running the London Marathon this year in memory of her father who died
last month.
Sarah will be raising money for three phenomenal charities and would love it if you could make a donation however small. Sarah said "For the last 10 years I have been an ambassador and trustee for a fantastic charity called Partners for Change Ethiopia. We're currently trying to fund the breakfast club for some of the most vulnerable children at Basso Primary School in Ethiopia. We're also trying to offer their parents and carers small business training, so that the project becomes self-sustainable: (1) PfC Ethiopia Ambassadors | Facebook. Secondly, I will be supporting Brighter Futures, a very important charity helping patients and their families at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon (brighterfuturesgwh.nhs.uk), who helped us tremendously as a family before Dad died. The team also gave us a beautiful multi-coloured crocheted blanket and some hearts on the day he passed away. Brighter Futures is currently fundraising for many different projects at the moment, but I'd love to be able to donate a bench in dad's memory so that patients receiving palliative care and their loved ones have somewhere to sit and pause for thought. We feel very blessed that dad received such fantastic care during the last few months of his life & would like to thank everyone at the Great Western Hospital, who looked after him. Finally, I will be raising money for Maidenhead Foodshare, a charity we have supported as a family for a while. Its main objective is to help people in and around Maidenhead who are, for whatever reason, unable to feed themselves and their families properly. Lester and his magnificent team are doing vital work in these financially-challenging times. |
