Sweat for Support: Helping a Family Through Cancer

Hi everyone,

My name is Sophia, and this is my first ever GoFundMe and my first time organising a charity event — but when someone you care about is going through something this difficult, you find a way to help.

I'm raising money for a brilliant electrician I work with. He’s a hard worker, a devoted husband, and a loving father. Recently, his wife received the devastating news that she has cancer. While he continues to work and support his family as best as he can, the emotional and financial strain is immense.

Being self-employed, he doesn’t have the same financial security or paid leave many of us rely on during hard times. This makes an already heartbreaking situation even more difficult, as he’s doing everything he can to keep things going while supporting his wife through her treatment and looking after their family.

Along side this to help support him during this time, I’ll be hosting a charity fitness event, which will be a 45-minute workout, with all proceeds going directly to him and his family.

We often take our health for granted — until something like this reminds us how precious it really is. It's easy to forget how lucky we are until life changes in an instant.

This fundraiser is my way of showing support, and hopefully rallying a wider circle of kindness around this wonderful man and his family. Any donation, no matter how big or small, is deeply appreciated and will go a long way.

The charity fitness event will happen in Bedford. Please see more information on my Instagram or drop me a message on my page.

Thank you for reading and for donating!

With love and gratitude,

Sophia
