For those who know me, RNIB is a charity close to my heart. For those that don’t, I was born with a rare eye condition - Retinitis Pigmentosa, which is an incurable eye disease. Finding out at the age of 15 that this genetic disorder could result in me losing my sight one day, was a lot to deal with. When people say, you can never understand what someone is going through until you’ve walked a day in their shoes is the most real statement I’ve heard. This is why I’m running Marathon Mates with my lovely husband Mike for RNIB. 

I’m not a keen runner but will aim to run 13.1 miles...(well run, walk or possibly crawl) throughout May, with Mike also running 13.1 miles, totalling a marathon of 26.2 miles. 

Any donations would be amazing...😊

Every day 250 people are told the life-changing news that they're losing their sight. We want to ensure no one faces this diagnosis alone, and that people with sight loss can live independently in a world with no barriers in the way of the life they want to lead.Our Sight Loss Advisors can provide emotional and practical support to someone who is coming to terms with their sight loss. Your fundraising could help us ensure no call to the RNIB Helpline goes unanswered, and that no one feels alone during this difficult time.
