Edinburgh Marathon and Hairy Haggis Team Relay 2008 · 25 May 2008 ·

Sightsavers' vision is of a world where no one is blind from avoidable causes and where visually impaired people participate equally in society.

Story

Update 26/5/08

Despite a headwind for 18 miles, I managed to complete the marathon in my target time of 3:30. The last 5 miles or so were tough, but I managed to keep running to the end

Thanks for all who have sponsored me - I promise to post no more photos of my legs on the web (they are going away for their summer holidays)

Sightsavers does fantastic work in the third world to prevent and cure blindness. This makes a huge difference to the lives of the people they help, and also to their families and communities.

> It costs just 5p to protect someone from river blindness for a year
> It costs just £17 for an adult cataract operation
> Last year, Sightsavers help to restore the sight of 233000 people

So please dig deep and sponsor me online

Many thanks,
                        Gary
