Story

Hello! 

Matthew Beasley and Sam Smith are running the London Half Marathon this October, to raise money for Berkshire County Blind Society, a local charity that supports over 2,000 blind and partially sighted people in Berkshire, inlcuding over 100 children. Our Facebook page has all the information, pictures, videos and everything you need ot know about who we are and what we do.

This marathon is 13.1 miles long which is more than Sam Smith have ever run! Should be a challenge this October! Beasley already ran the last London Half back in 2009 with an inured knee!! So we both need all the inspiration we can get!

It would be great if you would sponsor us!! Any donation is a help, the price of a drink can help a kid with sight problems, please contribute! Don't leave feeling bad! So donate please! :D

So we both train often and will keep doing so all the way through to October, this means 'NOT' as much drinking as we'd like to do and keep fit routine! As Sam has never done a Half Marathon he's keen and will run till his feet will fall off so :P its all good.

We'll keep a tracking record on here so keep an eye out ;)
