Story

**NOT MUCH TIME LEFT - PLEASE HELP NOW!!**

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running for Action For Blind People. They help blind and visually impared people with practical advice and support, and I hope to get to £1500 by 20th April when I will be running the Virgin London Marathon. Not only is this my first marathon, but my only other event has been a 5km run for Cancer research.

Having said that, I am training hard with help from The Shropshire Shufflers, and should be in great shape by April.

The motivation to run for a charity supporting blind people comes from my mother-in-law Ann Sullivan who lost her sight in 1980 at the age of 35. Seeing how Ann copes with her illness and sight-loss would be an inspiration to anyone, and I have seen first hand how important these charities and organisations are to improving the life of people with sight problems.

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.
