The Greensand Marathon · 17 October 2010

ClearVision children's braille library lends books by post to hundreds of young visually-impaired children in the UK. These books - from Thomas the Tank Engine to Jacqueline Wilson - have the text in print and braille so that everyone can share them. £15 pays for a new book for the ClearVision library!

Story

I am running the Greensand Marathon on 17 October 2010 in aid of a small deserving charity called Clear Vision.  This is a tough race and it includes hills which add up to over 5,200 feet of vertical climb. Anyone who wants to come with me is most welcome.Alternatively you could sponsor me !

 

ClearVision is a small charity for visually-impaired children that lends books by post to nearly a thousand families, schools and libraries all over the .They have been working tirelessly since the mid-1980 to expand and develop the number and range of books available. I have examples if you would like to see the books in action.

The books are designed for sharing; the braille text is added to ordinary children’s picture books on clear plastic sheets so that each book can be read and enjoyed by print and by braille readers.
