Charlie's half marathon fundraiser

14/10/2025

I am beyond proud to announce that we have raised an incredible £6,662.00 through my half-marathon run!

This achievement would not have been possible without the immense support and generosity from each and every one of you. Your donations, words of encouragement, and unwavering belief in this cause kept me going every step of the way.

I am truly grateful to everyone who contributed to and supported my journey.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Charlie Fordham 🙏❤️

⭐️ He did it! ⭐️

Congratulations to Charlie for not only completing his half-marathon challenge but going the extra mile (or two) by running an astonishing 15.3 miles! At just 15 years old, this is an incredible achievement, and we couldn't be prouder of him.

Charlie wishes to extend a massive thank you to everyone who sponsored or donated to his challenge. With your amazing support, he has raised an astonishing £3,651 in donations and sold £2,850 worth of raffle tickets!

We are so close to our goal! If you can, please help Charlie reach a total of £7,000 today? 🙏

All funds raised will be split equally between Eastwood Amateur Boxing Club, in memory of Chris Harpin, and the family of Harper Dolan. Your generosity will make a significant difference.

Thank you for your continued support! Let's make this final push together! 💪❤️🥊🏃

Cheer on Charlie Tomorrow!

Join us in supporting Charlie as he embarks on his half marathon tomorrow morning! He'll be starting from home between 6:30 and 7:00 AM and finishing at the Eastwood Amateur Boxing Club, located at the back of St. Mary's Church on Church Street, Eastwood, around 9:15 AM. Since we can't predict the exact finish time, we recommend arriving a little before 9:15 AM to ensure you don't miss the moment.

Refreshments & Respect

The boxing gym will graciously open its doors for us, offering teas, coffees, and a selection of cakes and biscuits. Please remember to respect the space and keep in mind that the church will also be open, so parking might be limited. We've spoken with the reverend, and while there are usually spots available, it could be busy.

Capture the Memories

Our talented friend and photographer, Lee Panton, will be there to capture Charlie's final stretch. Please allow Lee space to take these special photos so we can all look back on Charlie's incredible achievements.

Support & Get Involved

There will be opportunities to donate or purchase remaining raffle tickets, so make sure to speak with Heather to get involved.
Let's come together to wish Charlie the best of luck and show our support. Hope to see many of you there to cheer him on! 🎉
