About this raffle

This October, I’m taking on the Nike Melbourne Half Marathon to raise money for FORGE, a charity that means a lot to me personally.FORGE was founded by my friend Jon after his son Charlie was diagnosed with SAVI, an incredibly rare genetic condition caused by a mutation in the STING1 gene. For families living with rare genetic diseases, answers can be difficult to find, treatment options can be limited and research is often underfunded.That’s what FORGE is working to change.FORGE helps fund vital research into new treatments and potential cures, while also connecting patients and families with researchers, clinicians and others living with rare disease. It’s about giving families access to better information, greater support and, most importantly, hope for what comes next.So I’m adding a little extra fun to my half-marathon fundraising with this raffle.Every entry helps grow the amount we can raise for FORGE and supports their mission to create a future where rare genetic diseases are better understood and, ultimately, treatable.You could win a great prize — but your ticket is doing something much bigger.You’re helping fund research, support families and FORGE a pathway towards a cure.Thank you for getting behind me, FORGE and families like Charlie’s. ❤️
