On Sunday 21st of April 2024 I'm running the London Marathon for the Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC). 

This is a bit of a gamble because in 2022 I had a major heart attack and have heart failure so the chances are I will not be breaking any records. The aim is to finish whilst raising as much as I can.

I ran the London Marathon in 2004 for the RSBC and made a comment that I would run again in 20 years time and so 20 years later here we are.

Some of you may know that my father was bind. 

There are an estimated 44,000 blind and partially sighted children in England and Wales. Each day, four more children will be diagnosed with sight loss. Blind children are twice as likely to be bullied - One in three will suffer from depression and other mental health issues - 90% will never have a long-term job - Two thirds of blind people are living on or below the poverty line - Most will never have a meaningful relationship

RSBC help blind children to realise their potential. They run a family support service, working with families to help provide the best possible environment for their child to grow and thrive. They also help blind children to develop confidence and independence through a range of programmes and activities, building amazing friendships.

I hope you will consider sponsoring me in taking on 42.2 km (26.1 miles) for this worthy cause!
