Welcome to my Just Giving Page for the LondonMarathon! 

Why am I running a marathon?  I have run for many years, encouraged by my Dad (a keen runner himself), and had never thought about running a marathon until 13 April 2008.  I was in London, onTowerBridge, runners streamed past me and I was inspired to take part instead of standing on the sidelines.  The following week my training began. If you would like to hear about my progress – here is my blog.  http://www.realbuzz.com/blogs/u/TraceyMKing/tricky-s-training-blog/.

Why Sightsavers?  I have worked for Sightsavers for 7 years and from the first day I joined I was moved by the impact of the work.  Sightsavers work helps to treat people with eye conditions that can lead to blindness.  I have met amazing people who perform numerous surgeries in a day to restore people’s sight and often in conditions which are challenging because of available medical equipment and trained staff.   

Your sponsorship will be a motivation for me to stay on my feet, smile and contribute to Sightsavers work to restore sight and prevent people going blind!
