Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking part in this amazing race across Devon with two of my lovely carers. I would be grateful for any donations towards this great charity - Devon in sight!

10 Teams (I will be 'The Devon Racers')

1 Epic Adventure.

No Barriers.

Imagine racing across the stunning landscapes of Devon using various modes of transport - steam trains, ferries, bicycles - to name a few!! All while racing against the clock and tackling surprise challenges.

On Saturday 18th July 2026, ten extraordinary teams are doing exactly that.

Inspired by the BBC’s hit show Race Across the World, Race Across Devon 2026 is Devon in Sight’s flagship fundraising event. Each team pairs a visually impaired participant with a sighted guide and a safety member. Starting with a formal blessing by the Bishop of Exeter at 9:00 AM, they will navigate the county in a high-stakes, real-time adventure, concluding at Exeter Cathedral Green at 5:30 PM where a suprise dignatory will crown the winners.

Along the way, sighted guides will even wear specialised glasses to simulate sight loss conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration — building deep empathy and showing what it truly takes to navigate the world with a visual impairment.

Why We Are Racing

This isn't just a race; it’s a movement to shatter stereotypes. Today, an estimated 51,000 people in Devon are living with sight loss. Behind that number are real people navigating sudden changes to their independence, mobility, and confidence.

We are racing to prove that sight loss should never be a barrier to pursuing ambitious goals, embracing adventure, or achieving personal aspirations.
