My story

 

Hello All,

I am competing in my first and last marathon in April and your support - by way of sponsorship - will be enormously appreciated.

My target for donations is £1,500 and with your help this will be donated to Henshaw's charity for the blind. If you'd like to know more about Henshaws then please click on this link http://www.henshaws.org.uk/HomePage/89604/homepage/.

Thank you all very much for your support.

Henshaws

Imagine living in a world without light, shade, shape or colour... For many people, this is an every day reality. We're here to help them live life to the full - but we need your help to do it.Imagine living in a world without light, shade, shape or colour... For many people, this is an every day reality.

Henshaws is LOCAL. We raise money in the North of England for projects in the North of England. You can be sure that your donation is supporting visually impaired people in your local community who need help, and our services develop as a direct result of listening to the needs of people in that local area. We may be smaller than some of the better known blind charities, but as a result we are better placed to deliver activities in our local communities.
