<div>On Sunday 7th September I am running <strong>The Big Half London Marathon</strong> to raise money for a very special organisation – <strong>The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential (IAHP).</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many of you may know that my son was born extremely premature at 24 weeks, weighing just 620 grams. At 24 weeks the chances of survival are 1 in 3, and for those who do survive, 1 in 2 face long-term challenges. Many of his first friends sadly did not make it, and many who did face incredible daily battles to learn the things we take for granted: movement, communication, eating, breathing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The staff at IAHP have dedicated their lives to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for children with brain injuries. Their work, grounded in decades of research, delivers practical, life-changing programmes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They give children the tools to achieve things that may once have seemed impossible — to take a first step, to speak a first word, to explore the world with greater independence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There is a Bible verse I think about sometimes:
</div>
<div>“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For over 70 years the staff at IAHP have answered that call — for my son, and for countless others. For us, IAHP represents more than just therapy. They represent hope, progress, and the belief that “impossible” is just a starting point.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For my son, IAHP’s work has been life-changing:
</div>
<div>•	Without them, he would not see the world so clearly.
</div>
<div>•	Without them, he would not be talking — sharing his thoughts and laughter.
</div>
<div>•	Without them, he would not be moving with the confidence and freedom he has today.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It takes a village to raise a child. For us, that village includes doctors, nurses, therapists — and the extraordinary team at IAHP. But it also includes people like you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation, no matter the size, will help fund the expertise, programmes, and resources that change a child’s life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of our village.
</div>
