On Sunday 23rd of April 2023 I'm running the London Marathon for the Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC). I hope you will consider sponsoring me in taking on 42.2 km (26.1 miles) for this worthy cause!

I am running in honour  of one of their members Teddy Birta. Teddy was born with a rare genetic condition and amongst the many ailments he suffers, such as being hard of hearing, almost completly wheelchair bound at only 7 years old he is also going blind. Teddy is an amazing child and an absolute pleasure to be around, he’s an absolute inspiration and completing marathon falls into insignificance against the challenges he faces. If it wasn’t for charities like the RSBC he would not be as advanced as he is. The money I am raising will help to support more children like Teddy a little really does go a long way. Please donate what you can or if you can’t afford to donate if you could just show your support by sharing this page.

Today there are an estimated 44,000 blind and partially sighted children in England and Wales. Each day, four more children will be diagnosed with sight loss.- Blind children are twice as likely to be bullied- One in three will suffer from depression and other mental health issues- 90% will never have a long-term job- Two thirds of blind people are living on or below the poverty line- Most will never have a meaningful relationshipRSBC help blind children to realise their potential. They run a family support service, working with families to help provide the best possible environment for their child to grow and thrive. They also help blind children to develop confidence and independence through a range of programmes and activities, building amazing friendships.
