Hello and welcome to my fundraising page!

I’ve decided to push myself completely out of my comfort zone to run the London Half Marathon.on Sunday 4th April 2027. This is a massive personal challenge, but I am doing it for a charity that is incredibly close to my heart: Deafblind UK.

This cause is deeply personal to me because I am deafblind myself, living with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP). Navigating the world with sight and hearing loss comes with unique hurdles, and Deafblind UK has been an amazing support to me in the past when I needed it most.

Now, I want to give back. I am pushing my own boundaries to tackle these 13.1 miles not just to raise vital funds, but to prove that we can do this. A diagnosis doesn't mean we have to stop setting big goals or reaching for new milestones.

Training for a half marathon is a huge undertaking, but knowing that every step I take will help Deafblind UK provide a lifeline, community, and support to others like me is all the motivation I need.

If you are able to donate, please know that your generosity makes a genuine difference. If you can't donate right now, simply sharing my page with others would mean the world to me.

Thank you so much for cheering me on and being part of this

Best wishes

Rita
