Adam Carmody running 42km in orange for the Grow Foundation Kids
Story
I am running my very first 42km marathon for the Grow Foundation, by taking part in the 2012 Melbourne Marathon Festival. and hoping to raise much needed funds for special needs children, including those with Down Syndrome, Autism, Cerebal Palsy, to name just a few. There are so many others who have various brain related injuries that the Grow Foundation help too.
THE CHALLENGE - If I can raise $10,000 I will be running my first marathon in a BRIGHT ORANGE LYCRA SUIT!
Help me achieve a life time goal (though never pictured it in lycra!) while helping those kids have a chance to run and walk and succeed in life just like us.
The Grow Foundation in the past has helped a handful of families by providing grants to send them over to receive training from medical professionals at The Institute For the Achievement of Human Potential. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER the Grow Foundation have the opportunity to bring the team of professionals here to Australia to help up to 100 + families in one week! These families have children with a range of difficulties including Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Autism and stroke victims, to name just a few.
There is a whole Grow Foundation team decked out in bright orange shirts, this includes the inspiration behind the Grow Foundation - GRYFFIN MORRISON! Gryffin was born with Down Syndrome and is a child who has exceeded all expectations thanks to the IAHP and his family. You will see Gryffin in orange with his family right beside him as he too participates in the Melbourne Marathon!
I’d really appreciate your support in this endeavour whether it is $5 or $1000, every bit will 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!
