So...... I bet you’re asking 'why oh why would I be crazy enough to run a marathon?'..... The answer is Runa convinced me it would be a great idea! Months later, I’m aching, my feet are covered in blisters and I find myself running for hours on end on the weekend when I could be sat on my ass!.... So I figured I should try and make a bit of money for charity.
The team my husband works for are supporting the RNIB this year..... As a kid, many moons ago he whiled away his evenings playing football down Victoria Park, he’ll tell anyone who’ll listen how he played football against David Beckham in Wembley (he was 14 - I’m convinced the coach must have felt sorry for him). Anyway, I think that might be why he was choked when he got to see the images of young blind / partially sighted kids thoroughly enjoying playing football. (The ball was brightly coloured and had a bell in it). When he found out that the son of one of his fellow team members’was in the pictures he was even more touched.
That’s why I picked this charity! – If it was my child, I’d get so much joy out of seeing them enjoy themselves the way we all used to when we were kids..... I hope you feel the same and also feel the need to donate to worthy charity!
Thanks People! x x x
