Story

Hi I’m Ted and as many of you know I am blind.

You may or may not know that I’m a big fan of the Living Paintings charity - they provide wonderful free Touch to See books for people like me with a visual impairment. They are amazing and they have helped me make sense of the world!

Having seen Captain Tom raise so much money I wondered if I could do something to raise some money for my favourite charity Living Paintings while I am in lockdown - so they can keep the books coming.

Here I am with JayJay to tell you more about the challenge - https://youtu.be/hazV5gmLtAM 

Thank you.
