In my primary school, dyslexia was not recognised as a condition.  My secondary school was the local centre for students with learning disabilities, but didn’t have the resources to give them the help and support they required. 

Things are improving, but they still need to be better.  Learning Disability England are working to remove these barriers to success by providing people with the help and support they need to enjoy the opportunities afforded to the many.  Everyone should be able to fulfil their potential.  

I will be running my first (and probably only) half marathon on the 14th of November and raising money for Learning Disability England.  Please support this charity if you can.
