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!
