Story
Hi All,
On November 3rd this year Ellie and Liv will be completing the famous NYC Marathon, which involves running 42.2km through the 5 boroughs of New York City and (hopefully) crossing the finish line in Central Park.
We are running for Little Heroes Foundation to raise awareness and funds for childhood dementia. This genetic disorder causes a child to progressively lose skills such as the ability to write, read, talk, walk, and play. This can happen over months, years, or decades as their brains slowly deteriorate which eventually leads to the inability to keep the body functioning properly and, eventually, to keep the body alive.
Tragically, half of all children with Childhood Dementia die before the age of 10. In Australia, 2 babies are born every week who will develop Childhood Dementia. This is as common as cystic fibrosis. In 2023, it is estimated that 91 children in Australia died due to Childhood Dementia, similar number to childhood cancer.
We appreciate any contribution, big or small and thank you for supporting an incredible cause.
Thanks so much,
Ellie and Liv xxx
Little Heroes Foundation Incorporated
In 27 years of operation, Little Heroes Foundation has raised close to $40 million - the majority going towards purchasing lifesaving equipment at Adelaide’s Women’s and Children’s Hospital and providing daily support to families through the Little Heroes Care Program. Little Heroes is also pleased to announce a new partnership with the Childhood Dementia Initiative. There are almost 90 deaths each year from this illness, yet little is known about the 70 different variants of this condition. The Foundation is currently running the campaign ‘Raise it for Renee’, supporting a South Australian mum with all three of her children experiencing the devastating impacts of terminal childhood dementia. Little Heroes has committed $50,000 to support Renee and families like hers. In conjunction with this campaign we are also funding a PhD student in Professor Kim Hemsley's team at Flinders University to assist them with finding potential treatments and cures for childhood dementia. Our partnership with Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation continues to grow through our Big Talks for Little People campaign, along with a new commitment towards an Eating Disorder Facility to be built here in South Australia. For more information on our organisation, please visit https://www.littleheroesfoundation.com.au/ As Little Heroes Foundation receives no government funding, the difference that we make to the lives of seriously ill children is not possible without the continued support of people just like you. Fundraising is such an important area for all charities, and thanks to Go Fundraise, it is easy to fundraise for Little Heroes Foundation.
