Sunday 12th October I will be running the Royal Parks London Half Marathon to raise money for the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity.

Our Sophie has been diagnosed with dyslexia and other learning difficulties.

So from experience we know how important it is to get the diagnosis and support in early and the difference it can make.

The Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity leads the way in providing specialist support to children, young people and adults with dyslexia and other Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs). Their mission is to help people: 1. Believe in themselves 2. Achieve their goals and 3. Succeed on their own terms. There is no government funding for dyslexia, despite its lifelong impact. Fundraising is vital to ensure in-depth assessment and tuition is available to anyone with dyslexia, including lower income families and schools in disadvantaged areas. Thank you.
