Thanks for supporting me to take on the 2022 Oxford Half Marathon!Every day, 250 people in the UK start losing their sight. Too many still face isolation and depression, unable to achieve their potential in a world that blocks their way. 

There are few things in life I value more than being able to unravel humanity and the promise of imagination through the written word. I am endlessly grateful for the ability to use sight to read and lose myself in another universe. If I ever lost my sight, I would miss this the most. I want to be able to help people who might not have this privilege to access audio-books for free and continue to enjoy the magic of an alternate life or the epiphany from learning new things.
