Chris and Claire's TakeOn250km Guided Run

Running at all is challenge enough for most of us, but imagine doing so without your sight! Chris and Claire, with sighted friends as tethered guides, have pledged to run/walk 250km around the War Memorial Park in January to raise funds for CRCB.

Story

Chris and Claire have been steadily changing their lives over the past few years! This inspiring couple, both blind, got to know each other right here at CRCB and were married in 2019. In the past 2 years they have also been changing their lives by getting fit, taking up new challenges, becoming vegan and recently moving home! They are committed supporters of CRCB as they know first hand how valuable the help provided by the charity is to visually impaired people. In fact, Claire has also recently become a Trustee so she is now using her lived experience to help us make sure that we are really doing the right things to support VI people in Coventry.

500 Coventry people start to lose their sight every year. How would you cope? That's where we come in! CRCB helps people from all across our city by providing long term practical, emotional and social support so that people who are living with sight loss can live as fully and independently as possible.

About the charity

We provide practical, emotional and social support to help visually impaired adults from across Coventry cope with sight loss. Our aim is to help people live as fully and independently as possible and to reduce the often profound isolation that sight loss causes.
