My story

Hello everybody,

I'm running the London Marathon because at the start of this year I was introduced to a very brave young boy whos strength and carisma has captured my heart.

Oscar was born blind and his parents have been through a rollercoaster of emotions in dealing with the disability. It is my aim to add my support to Henshaws Society For The Blind to help others just like Oscar enjoy life as much as possible.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now, it doesn't matter how small I know the benefit will be incredible for Henshaws.
