Besides the fact I'm a bit of a fitness freak and wanted the physical challenge. I am running 26miles to help raise money for the British Dyslexia charity.

 The BDA helps to encourage schools to work towards becoming dyslexia-friendly and helps to enable dyslexic people to achieve their potential.

No one should ever let dyslexia prevent them from being able to achieve. You can still achieve amazing Grades and success with learning difficulties such as Dyslexia. BDA provides opportunities to share and support this.

Being a teacher I want to highlight that dyslexia is not linked to intelligence . Students with dyslexia are fantastic at comprehending new ideas , they have inquiring minds and are great at seeing the bigger picture. The British dyslexia association helps to remove the stigma behind dyslexia and encourage people to understand how to help people who struggle with dyslexia. 

Thank you for any support you can offer to this fantastic charity.
