Story

<p>Thank you&nbsp;for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I am running the London Marathon this year for Berkshire County Blind Society. As well as helping, encouraging and supporting&nbsp;visually impaired&nbsp;adults in&nbsp;Berkshire, BCBS have provided information, kindness and&nbsp; multiple opportunities for my daughter, Grace, and other visually impaired children, through the hard work of the&nbsp;children's department.</p> <p>Grace was born with albinism, a genetically carried condition which results in reduced piment in the skin and hair, as well as in the retina. People with albinism have reduced vision which may be profound, or slight, and which cannot be corrected with glasses. Grace is lucky to find herself&nbsp;at the milder end of the spectrum. Some of the children supported by BCBS have little or no vision.</p> <p>In these financially difficult times, charities struggle to keep afloat, which means that any money raised through sponsorship is more valuable now than it has ever been before.</p> <p>I would be very grateful for any sponsorship, pennies or pounds, to help me support this very worthwhile cause. So please&nbsp;donate now, if you feel able to. Every little helps and thank you so much in advance...</p>
