Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

Imagine for one minute not being able to see your own children or actually hear them talking, playing or laughing.  Imagine your own children never being able to see you or really hear the sound of your voice.

 

I’m fortunate; I’m blessed with three beautiful healthy children.  For those of us that have children, or are now grandparents, the immense joy and of course naughtiness they bring is all part of life’s rich memories and never ending challenges. 

 

Life is busy, I know I rarely stop, but what if for one minute we just stopped and thought about those parents whose children are blind, those children that are deaf or even both.  Could you imagine the extra strain and daily challenges this brings, let alone the heart break of knowing your child will never really experience true colour or crisp sound, all of which we take for granted each day.

 

At Sense the charity works to help deaf blind children, who of course grow to deaf blind adults.  Sense supports the families; Sense supports the individuals with specialist therapists and teachers, most of whom give their time voluntary.  Sense makes the difference to provide the colour and sound which is part of our normal day.

 

So, if I can give something, namely a strenuous twenty six mile run on one cool April day, I will at least feel like I’ve made a teeny tiny contribution.  I hope you can too and join me in donating something to this great charity.

 

Best wishes.
