Deafblind Scotland's East Fortune Roller Marathon · 4 August 2013 ·

People who are deafblind have substantial visual and hearing loss which causes extreme difficulty with communication, information and mobility. We aim to raise aspirations and expand the lives of Deafblind people, some of the least visible and most isolated members of society.

Story

Ok I'm teaming up with some of Team Awesome to skate a half marathon in August for DeafBlind Scotland and could use plenty of support.

I'm going to be pushing my limits raising funds for Deafblind Scotland by skating further than I ever have before. I am currently really unfit but working on improving my fitness level. I will be skating on quad skates instead of quicker inline skates.

My Dad is my inspiration for this, he was a long distance runner who spent a lot of his youth looking after his deaf mum who later lost most of her sight. My Dad passed away last year and I know that he'd be proud of me doing this.

Please dig deep and support this good cause and help keep me motivated through the pain of the task ahead.
