Exeter Trails Half Marathon · 15 February 2015 ·

The charity has spent thirty years working throughout Devon and the South West to ensure that people with disabilities and Deaf people can live the life they choose. The charity was founded in 1990 by Peter Swain OBE following a life changing spinal injury. Run and led by disabled people, 71% of our Board of Trustees, 39% of our staff and approximately 89% of our volunteers are disabled or Deaf which means that we have lived experience of the issues facing disabled people. Annually, over 10,000 disabled and Deaf people, their families and carers, benefit from LOD services, including training, volunteering, outreach projects and accessible support services. It is a user-led organisation, meaning we have a first-hand understanding of the issues faced by disabled and Deaf people.

Story

A group of runners including myself are taking part in the Exeter Trails Half Marathon in aid of Living Options Devon

We are doing the run to both raise much needed funds and in celebration of Living Options Devon's 25th Anniversary. 

The team running has a mix of experience from advanced runners setting great times to newbies taking on their first ever long distance event. We also have two disabled runners Liam Harkness who is blind with no vision at all and myself being partially sighted. 

I would like to ask anyone who visits this page to please offer your support to the team. Any donation no matter how large or small will make a huge difference.
