Sam's London Marathon 2026 fundraiser for Coventry Vision Hub

Sam Young is raising money for Coventry Vision Hub

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

We provide practical, emotional and social support to help visually impaired adults from across Coventry cope with sight loss. Our aim is to help people live as fully and independently as possible and to reduce the often profound isolation that sight loss causes.

Story

I am entering the 2026 London Marathon, to raise money for Coventry Vision Hub (previously known as Coventry Resource Centre For the Blind), who provide amazing practical and social support to partially sighted and blind people in and around the Coventry area. I have seen first hand the great work that they do, and am proud to raise money for the charity, knowing all money will be used wisely and to benefit the Hub's attendees.

My aim, apart from raising money for Coventry Vision Hub, is to complete the famous marathon (26.2 miles) in under 4 hours. I shall be taking my training seriously, starting in January and participating in a training course leading up to the race day on Sunday 26th April!

Please follow my progress on this page where I shall regularly provide updates on my progress.
