Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to sign up to this event for two reasons; one as a personal challenge and secondly (and more importantly), to raise money for the Royal National Institute of Blind People. I signed up to this event back in January when I was fighting fit and raring to go, since then I have injured my knee and my new year's resolution of competing in a half marathon seems very far away. By completing this 10km, this will be a personal challenge (knee dependent!) and now I am even more determined to get to the finish line with the recent passing of my nan, for whom I was running this event for as she had been totally blind for the last few years. I cannot imagine the loneliness she felt by having her sight taken away from her at such a late stage in life and if I can raise as much money as possible for the RNIB who help people such as my nan, then I will feel proud and more importantly, I know she will be too.
