My story

Hello my friend!

I did it! This year I have run both the Paris and London Marathons to raise money for "Action for Blind People".

AFBP enables blind and partially sighted people to transform their lives through work, housing, leisure and support. This charity is especially close to my heart as my grandfather was blind and my Mom is visually impaired.

I completed the London Marathon on April 18th in 4:09:41 and the Paris Marathon on April 4th in 4:05:38, which is my best marathon time so far. Thank you so much to everyone who came out to cheer me on in London!

I really appreciate your donation for myself and for AFBP. I also really appreciate everyone who has been putting up with me during my training!

with much love and thanks, Sophie xoxo
