Story

On Sunday 21st of April 2024 I'm running the London Marathon for the Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC). I hope you will consider sponsoring me as I take on 26.2 miles for this fantastic charity which is so close to my heart. As a partially sighted rookie runner this will be an enormous challenge and my teammates Gary and Suzi will be guiding me every step of the way.  Please donate, any amount large or small, as this will make us smile and the RSBC extremely happy.

Today there are an estimated 44,000 blind and partially sighted children in England and Wales. Each day, four more children will be diagnosed with sight loss. Blind children are twice as likely to be bullied - One in three will suffer from depression and other mental health issues - 90% will never have a long-term job - Two thirds of blind people are living on or below the poverty line - Most will never have a meaningful relationship.  RSBC help blind children to realise their potential. They run a family support service, working with families to help provide the best possible environment for their child to grow and thrive. They also help blind children to develop confidence and independence through a range of programmes and activities, building amazing friendships.

Thank you!
