Hi John, Alastair,
My mother (Rosemarie) and sister (Charlotte) have committed to completing the New York Marathon this November to raise funds for Cure Kids.
I am aware Rotary (and particularly the Newmarket club) were vital is the inception of Cure Kids and was hoping you may be willing to use your communication channels to support this cause.
Would you be comfortable sharing the story and blurb below through Rapport or any other channels you have access to?
Also, if there is anyone else who may be interested in sharing or supporting Rosemarie and Charlotte, please feel free to forward this email on.
I have included their contact details below in case anyone would like to contact them directly.
Thanks in advance for your help and I look forward to hearing back from you.
Regards,
Henry Thomas-Kircher
Mother and daughter, Rose and Charlotte, have recently signed up for our biggest challenge – doing the New York Marathon as part of Team Cure Kids.
Cure Kids is a national organization, originally established under the umbrella of Rotary, raising funding to enable high-impact, New Zealand-based medical research to help save, extend and improve the lives of children diagnosed with serious life-impacting and life-limiting health conditions.
Research is vital in ensuring that children have a brighter future. Cure Kids’ funding supports researchers across New Zealand whose work focuses on childhood cancers, inherited heart conditions, epilepsy, cystic fibrosis, sudden unexpected death in infants (SUDI), stillbirth, as well as child and adolescent mental health – and many, many other areas of research.
From our work experience with children and families in health, NGOs and recreation, we both understand the importance of this research to improve the lives of the next generation.
We think this is a great cause to support so as part of this co-ordinated team effort we pay all our own expenses but have also made a commitment to each raising $5k for Cure Kids.
We are reaching out today to raise awareness about our challenge and invite you to help us achieve our goal.
The link to our donations page is included below.
If you have any other suggestions or ideas regarding how you could support this initiative we are only to happy to discuss.
