Howard Foale<br />
Holt, Norfolk<br />
Howard is running the 26.2 mile race on Sunday 21 April 2013 for Team CF<br />
because his wife Louise has cystic fibrosis. Howard said “My lovely wife<br />
Louise is 45, which is considered to be quite old for someone with CF.<br />
Those with the condition have a huge daily treatment burden every day and<br />
only half will live past their <strong>41</strong> st birthday. Sadly we lost Louise’s sister to CF<br />
six years ago and as Louise gets older she does get poorlier so it is hugely<br />
important that we keep raising money to fund research into new<br />
treatments. I love my wife very much, she is a wonderful, vibrant person<br />
and I want to do all I can to support her. I’m hoping to cross the line in<br />
under 6 hours and my fundraising target is £2500. If I can inspire even one<br />
person to join me and fundraise for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust I’ll be thrilled.”<br />

<strong>23</strong> year old Fran is an intelligent and creative young woman, who suffers<br />
from a rare degenerative disorder affecting her brain and nervous system,<br />
resulting in loss of speech and movement and drastically shortening life<br />
expectancy. Epic Arts has been on an exciting journey with her over the<br />
past 3 years, helping her to create a beautifully illustrated book called<br />
‘Fran’s Voyage’, designed to help us to think about life from a disabled<br />
person's point of view. Fran has shown huge strength of will and talent to<br />
create this beautiful book, and her story is an inspiration to us all. But the<br />
book is just the start of 'Fran’s Voyage'. Now that it has been completed,<br />
Fran wants her book to be used as an advocacy tool in schools, using<br />
interactive, digital and accessible means of engaging children in a different<br />
kind of world. They need £2,000 to develop an interactive tool based on the<br />
book, and to pilot school workshops. These workshops will: inspire children<br />
and young people to overcome adversity to achieve spectacular results,<br />
promote creative and imaginative thinking and empathy, enable children<br />
and young people to see inside Fran’s world, challenging preconceptions<br />
about disability.<br />
