My story

Hi I’m Nick and I’m running the Milton Keynes Marathon on 29th April 2012, so I thought I’d raise some money for Living Paintings. My girlfriend works for the charity plus my mum volunteers too, and I grew up in Kingsclere, where they're based.

 

Living Paintings are a FREE library of Touch to See books that bring to life the visual world for blind children and adults. They make the cool tactile+audio books in their production room and distribute them, UK wide, via their postal library. They have a small staff team and an army (just over 250!) of dedicated volunteers.
