Story

Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page!

So, the training is all done! One week to go until the marathon!!! Eek!! 250 training miles in the bag and just 26.2 to go!

I am not a natural runner, but I do love a challenge and feel privileged to be able to run the London Marathon for the RNIB.

I am raising money on behalf of my Grandad who has age-related Macular Degeneration.  When you start to lose your sight it can make your world appear to shrink.  Every day 100 people in the UK start to lose theirs.  Right now, the RNIB can only reach one in three of the people who need the most help.  Raising money and awareness can help the RNIB support more blind and partially sighted people.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

About the charity

Every day 250 people in the UK start losing their sight. With your help, we can be there when people need us most, support independent living, create an inclusive society and prevent avoidable sight loss. Every pound you raise will help create a future where sight loss is no longer a barrier.
