Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This will be my fourth London Marathon and my 40th marathon of the year. I am dedicating this one to Maria who was a fellow Blind Veteran and an inspiration to other members of the charity. 

She was also the first female to run the London Marathon for Blind Veterans (formally St Dunstans). 

She also participated in many other events eg: wing walk, skiing etc.. and lived life to the full whilst also supporting others to do the same.
