London Marathon 2022 · 2 October 2022 ·

VICTA is a small but national charity in the UK that empowers children and young adults who are blind or partially sighted and their families. Aware that feelings of isolation and loneliness are dominant within the world of visual impairment, VICTA use activity-based learning as a positive setting for social interaction. For the blind and partially sighted young people, involvement in team-based activities can be positively associated with social acceptance and a sense of belonging, especially where such involvement is characterised by positive coaching, progressive skill development and peer support. VICTA work hard to help young people question limiting presumptions they might have, helping them to view themselves and their potential in a new way. VICTA want them to be able to make a difference to their own lives.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Now that I have run both "The Great North Run half marathon" and "London full Marathon" this year, we come to the time to hopefully make the 300+ hours of training effort worthy financially for my choosen charity VICTA. Please give a little or as much as you can possibly spare.

VICTA has been awaiting the subsidance of covid to allow me to run London Marathon since cancellation in April 2020, and of course in doing so has been waiting my sponsorship funds since then; also with covid about I have been unable to fundraise in the normal manner with social distancing being primary to most peoples concerns.

Anything you can donate will help children and young adults considerably for their futures and will also help reduce the amount of  need for social service help in their futures, very much a win win situation for all concerned.

Through this Just Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities.

I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
