Gryffin Morrison
Story
This year, 9 year old Gryffin will be taking part in the 2016 Melbourne Marathon Festival - for the fourth time!
Each year we ask him if he would like to run with the other Grow Kids and each year he says yes - because he wants to help other children.
He took a moment out from training just now to make this short video!
Grow Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation which was founded in Gryffin's honour, to raise funds and provide support to families of children with neurological challenges - including Autism, Cerebral Palsy and Down syndrome. Gryffin was born with Down syndrome and through natural and alternative therapies, he outshone expectations for his growth and development and has continued to thrive and inspire parents all over the world ever since.
Since it began in 2011, Grow Foundation has helped more than 200 Australian parents to receive invaluable training to help their children achieve outstanding development, despite their various neurological challenges.
Grants and resources worth well over $350,000 have been provided to Australian parents through Grow's efforts with breathtaking success stories being told by many of these parents. Most of the parents who have been helped would not otherwise have been able to access the help that Grow Foundation facilitates.
Look out for the Grow Team - Parents & Kids - in our bright orange Grow T-Shirts as we complete our race through the streets of Melbourne, ending back at the world famous 'G!
Our family is honoured to be a part of this amazing race whilst helping a great cause, and we’d really appreciate your support!

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.

Thanks so much for your support!
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!
