Thank you so much for visiting our fundraising page.

We are Clive Tyrrell and Larraine Reed and we are just weeks away from running the 2009 Flora London Marathon. We are hoping to raise a minimum sponsorship of £1,400 for the charitySense and we need YOUR help!

Taking part in the London Marathon is a huge task to undertake but what makes it even more challenging is that I am registered blind and Larraine is registered deafblind.  The prospect of completing the 26.2 miles without the benefit of sight and hearing is a daunting one, but we are excited about the adventure ahead.  We are also not going to let the fact that we are both in our 50’s hold us back either!

The main challenge will come from being surrounded by so many people as we are not used to that in our daily lives.  The noise levels and the restricted space that we will encounter will also make things more difficult but we will be relying on our sighted guides to ensure we are kept safe and the event is as enjoyable as possible.

Although we will be facing more challenges than the average runner, we are so excited about taking part in the London Marathon.  We have watched the event from a young age and have always wanted to take part so it is fantastic that we will finally be living our dream on the 26^th April.

Please dig deep and sponsor Wonder Woman and Blind Man; we would be so grateful for your support.

Many thanks,

Clive & Larraine
