London Marathon 2021 · 3 October 2021 ·

There 253 million people in the world who are blind or visually impaired, 75% have conditions that are preventable or treatable. We screen for and treat eye conditions, raise awareness about eye health, and train and mentor local eye care teams

Story

Following on from Chicago last year, I will be running the London Marathon this year in aid of Orbis which fights avoidable blindness. The charity focuses on the poorest regions in Africa, South America and India, where poverty and blindness often go hand in hand. As 80% of visual impairment can be avoided or cured, fighting blindness in these regions is one of the most efficient ways to fight poverty.

As well as raising a lot of money (10k target), I am also hoping to beat my Chicago time and run sub 3h.

I will regularly post updates here so you can follow my struggles.

Thanks for your support!

Konstantin
