I’m running the London marathon in 2023 to raise money for Galloways, a charity supporting the visually impaired. Running with me will be Joanne, Kevin and Ricki.

Kev has been our inspiration having no sight in one eye and only 2% vision in the other, this will be his second marathon (he is hoping to smash his previous time by at least 30 minutes, we are all hoping we can keep up)

Kev runs using a tether with a guide runner to keep him out of harms way. Ricki is Kevs guide runner which is both mentally and physically taxing on him as he needs to constantly assess the environment and give verbal updates to Kev.

We are training as a group and will run the marathon together as a team with myself and Jo offering additional support (because it isn’t easy collecting a cup or bottle when you are holding onto the tether)

Together we are aiming to raise £6000 to allow Galloways to continue their great work.

This is a huge challenge for us, training, running the marathon, and the fundraising. Any help you can give to get us closer to our fundraising target will be greatly appreciated; no matter how much or little you donate as every penny counts. 

A shout of encouragement if you see us out training is also always welcomed!

Best wishes
