Hi my name is Emma, I'm fundraising for Sense, a charity that believes that no one, no matter how complex their disabilities, should be isolated, left out, or unable to fulfill their potential.

I'm hoping that by running London Marathon I will help to raise awareness and some much needed funds to support children and their families. I have worked with children and young adults with hearing loss, complex needs and visual impairment for over 20 years and I have seen the challenges they face on a daily basis.

Sense offer personalised support throughout their centres, holidays and short breaks, or in people’s own homes. They are here for everyone who needs them, for as long as they need them – providing early intervention for children, helping young people access education, and supporting the transition into adulthood and beyond.
