I have read this statement and want the charity or community amateur sports club [named above] to reclaim tax on the donation detailed [above], given on Saturday, August 16, 2025. I understand that if I pay less income tax / capital gains tax / annual remittance basis charge in the current tax year than the amount of gift aid claimed on all of my donations, it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

Description

Join me in supporting Empower by helping me raise money as I take on the 2025 Falmouth Road Race! 

Empower is an international nonprofit with a very specific mission — to empower, support, and connect children and young adults (up through age 24) who have experienced the loss of a parent. Empower provides events that remind children they are not alone in their grief, and a unique one-on-one mentor program with positive role models from the community who help teach, “loss is survivable.” 

Cara was nine years old when her mother Kit died of breast cancer and formed Empower as a grassroots movement out of the gratitude she had for all the layers of support her family received growing up. Empower operates with a lean staff and thousands of volunteers from across the globe and all programs remain at no charge to the family.  For more information, or to become a Mentor or enroll a child, please visit www.weareempower.org
