Story

Here again!! 🙌🏻

This is my WHY..My husband Matt has Retinitis Pigmentosa a condition which can be hereditary.  RNIB charity are incredible at what they do. We are eternally grateful for their support and I will always continue to fundraise for them and everyone who has to live with  the challenging impact that living with sight loss can bring. 

Running really is a brilliant release!  I am so passionate about raising funds for RNIB and it makes me even more dedicated to all of the training that the London Marathon brings my way. I can’t wait to be back in London with my brilliant friend Sarah who is running it for Team RNIB too. She’s been a fab support and I can’t wait to share the experience with her.

Every day, 250 people in the UK start losing their sight. Too many still face isolation and depression, unable to achieve their potential in a world that blocks their way. RNIB wont stop until every last psychological and physical barrier has gone for good.With your help, RNIB can be there when people need them most, support independent living, create an inclusive society and prevent avoidable sight loss. Every pound you donate is helping create a future where sight loss is no longer a barrier.£20 could help someone feel more confident about living with sight loss, with personalised support from our expert Sight Loss Advice Service. £47 could help someone feel more positive about the future after losing their sight, through a one-to-one phone or online counselling session. £2,500 could make a new adult book available in our Talking Books library, enabling a person with sight loss to enjoy the latest best seller.

Big Love for stopping by. Xxx
