Anyone With Spare Pennies Please Help Charlie

This is a cause that has caught mine and my Families heart. My boy is running two marathons back to back to raise funds



This really is Charlie’s last shot at beating this awful disease.. I can not imagine what Charlie and his family are going through right now.

In order to raise as much as I can to help I will be working extra and donating each week.. I am also going to run two back to back marathons 52.4 miles around Dorney Lake on 14th November in under 10 hours I aimed to have 6 months training considering I couldn’t run more than 5k 6 months ago this really will be my toughest challenge I have ever faced. However given Charlie’s situation 6 weeks will have to be enough. I have a page set up so I can double what I raise through my employers fundraising scheme however do please share Charlie’s fundraising page:

This is Charlie Ilsley and incredible 13 year old young man who has battled cancer since he was diagnosed at 8 years old. Unfortunately due to covid his treatment was stopped and his family have taken the decision to take him to Mexico for treatment. This has put a huge amount of financial burden on his parents a single trip costing in the region of £25,000.. I know times are uncertain for us all some people have been impacted terribly in this pandemic. However if you are in a position to help then please do.

Just though i would thank all you that dipped into your pockets for this Lad and his Family. It really means a lot to me. Don't know why but it does. I am thinking of putting my T140e up for raffle to aid his cause. Any good idea's on how one goes about this.

Yes i will try to keep you all in the picture mate. Little fellow has all the odds against him at present. And i think this is his last effort. If there is a God i pray he lays his hand on this child. But I fear I am not in his favour. I went to church when my lovely Wife lay in Paddington hospital God I pray and begged till I hurt and she still slipped away before her 26th Birthday. My 17 year old boy lay in Wexham hospital fighting to take every breath. I didn't want to lose him and I begged and I miss him so much. Now I am wailing my eyes out sorry. And My four month old Son with Tracy i never even got the chance to beg. I used to get him out of his cot every morning and put him in with his Mum. One morning i was late and rushed to work only to get the call from my sister in law. So maybe its my turn to bring some hope. And you peeps are fantastic. I love you all for the kindness and Brother ship you give to me.
Joe.

I am not running my Son is. But I will push him every mile as though i am running my self. Don't know why i got involved but something just took over me to do something for another in need. Most of my life i have been a selfish scrot now I think it is this forum and Tracy has broken through the wall i built around me. I don't handle sadness al that well. You know i have told you all more about me than I ever intended. Alought i laid my truths to two brothers on here that i hold in high esteem. As they are kinder than I.
Regards
Joe.
