Story
Hi my name is Caitlin Woods.
I am 7 years old and really excited to be running in my very first Marathon... 5km... thats right...5km. Crazy I know but I'm up for the challenge. It's going to be tough, that's why I really need your help.
I am really proud of myself! We have been training very hard running at the Athletics track and other sports and activities.
Even though I am young, I believe that what I am doing is very important and will teach me to start and finish challenges. Try my hardest and give to others who are not as lucky as me. I am healthy and fit and want to help.
Please help support me and the Grow foundation in this great race.
I am excited to run to raise money for others that have brain injuries! I can help by giving them the chance to be the best they can be through the Grow Foundation.
I'm taking part in the 2013 Melbourne Marathon Festival and hoping to raise much needed funds for The Grow Foundation.
Help a child with a Brain Injury have a chance to walk, talk, see, hear, or become completely independent - often thought impossible, now possible with your help!
Simply sponsor me in the Melbourne Marathon 5km race and allow these parents to change their own child's life. The Grow Foundation ensures families seeking this help have access to the team of medical professionals from the IAHP in Philadelphia - they do this by bringing them to our doorstep here in Australia. By doing this it dramatically decreases the costs allowing anyone to access this help, which for struggling families would have been previously unattainable.
5kms is a long way and I have been training hard every day with Vision PT Brighton and the Grow Foundation Kids Team. This October, I’m going to be doing my best to complete a grueling course through the streets of Melbourne and ending back at the world famous 'G!
I am honoured to be a part of this amazing race and helping a great cause, and I’d really appreciate your support in this endeavour.
Thank you for your support and helping to make a difference

Grow Foundation Ltd
The Grow Foundation is all about 'Kids Helping Kids' in need.
Established in 2011, Grow's mission is to help families whose children suffer from Brain Injury or have special needs who are often given little to no hope for their kids.
We aim to give them a FIGHTING CHANCE to live a life we hope for all of our children.
Today, Grow Foundation helps families and children by providing grants and access to programs that are not otherwise readily available.
Grow has a strong focus on community and education. We believe that if we can show children and adults alike that they can make a change in this world they will
then go on to help change the world in a significant way.
Each year Grow trains children from 4 - 16 years of age to run distances between 5 and 10 kms to support their peers who cannot. Our inspiration came from one of our
Grow kids, told he could never run again after a severe stroke, this impressive young man acheived the impossible and ran the 5.7km event in the Melbourne Marathon.
Through his efforts the Grow Kids Helping Kids campaign was born.
In this exciting year for the Grow Foundation, we celebrate the success of many Australian children achieving milestones never before thought possible, and watch as the
Grow Kids in their endeavours to help other kids in need, proudly take responisibility to make the world a better place for all.
Together we inspire children across Melbourne to develop a LOVE of running, a sense of community and responsibility, compassion and charity and all with of course an
idea of helping another.
Grow Foundation is wholly run by unpaid volunteers and all funds raised go towards supporting the children in need of help.

Further information
The Grow Foundation is a very exciting and unique project, which we hope will provide great relief to families who are often given little or no hope for their kids. The Foundation’s purpose is to provide information, support and funding for children with brain injuries or special needs.
There are many success stories including a man with Down syndrome who recently completed a degree in economics and a girl who was born at 28 weeks with a brain injury, and who is now a Merit Scholar. Other success stories abound of children who dramatically improve sight, hearing and mobility through the programs we support. Please help us help Australian Families of children with Brain Injuries and special needs and let them start to take the steps needed to allow them to reach their full potential!
