For everyone living with complex disabilities. For everyone who is deafblind. Sense is here to help people communicate and experience the world. Our experts offer support through our centres, holidays, or in people’s own homes. We are here for everyone who needs us, for as long as they need us.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 26th April I will be running my first (and almost definitely last) marathon. I am running to raise money for Sense, a fantastic national charity that supports and campaigns for children and adults who are deafblind or have sensory impairments. Their vision is a world in which all deafblind children and adults can be full and active members of society.

Sense provides tailored support, advice and information as well as services to deafblind people, their families, carers and the professionals who work with them.

£7.50 could pay for a toy to help a deafblind child explore new sensations.

£15 could pay for a child to take part in a pottery class on a Sense holiday.

£35 could help us to stay in touch with a deafblind family so we can help them to find out what they need to know.

£50 could help pay for one deafblind child and their family to attend a Sense family day.

As well as supporting a great charity, this will be a massive personal challenge for me. I’ve never run anything close to this distance and I AM NERVOUS! My training has been really hard work and fraught with injuries so any donation you can give will be a huge motivation for me to keep going!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
