Hello I’m Lucy and thank you for visiting my London Marathon 2023 Fundraising Page.

I decided to enter the London marathon last year , unsure what came over me at that precise moment..  but here I am and training is well under way.

I will be running for the fantastic Charity, The Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB). 

 The RNIB is a charity quite close to mine and my family’s hearts as my late Nan , Joan was partially sighted losing 70% of her sight when she was 70 from macular degenerative caused by a blood vessel bursting behind her eye. 

The RNIB became a huge help for Nan giving lots of advice to her and her family and providing support with useful aids for her to use. She had mobility aids to help , she had a talking watch and lots of kitchen appliances made specifically for the blind which made her life that little be easier. 

In the average time it takes to run the London Marathon, 40 people in the UK will be told they're losing their sight.

Too many still face isolation and depression, unable to achieve their potential in a world that blocks their way. RNIB wont stop until every last psychological and physical barrier has gone for good.With your help, RNIB can be there when people need them most, support independent living, create an inclusive society and prevent avoidable sight loss. Every pound you donate is helping create a future where sight loss is no longer a barrier.£20 could help someone feel more confident about living with sight loss, with personalised support from our expert Sight Loss Advice Service. £47 could help someone feel more positive about the future after losing their sight, through a one-to-one phone or online counselling session. £2,500 could make a new adult book available in our Talking Books library, enabling a person with sight loss to enjoy the latest best seller.

Any contributions help so much and will be very much appreciated by myself and everyone at the RNIB.

Thank you for visiting my page!
