Story

Please help me to help this amazing charity.  

I reached out to the British Blind for Sport because I had a routine eye operation back in January which as part of my recovery left me unable to see for 2 days.    Not having my sight for just 2 days made me realise the challenges faced in being blind or partially sighted.      We are so lucky and blessed.      

I have never asked for sponsorship before, but if you can donate something to this worthwhile cause,  and support me on the day,  I would be so grateful,  and it will make each one of the 50,000 + steps a little easier to bare  :-) x

BBS is the UK's only national sports and physical activity charity exclusively for people with sight loss. There are more than 350,000 children and adults who are blind or partially sighted and they need our help now more than ever before. People with sight loss are twice as likely to be inactive as people without sight loss and 2/3rds say there are physical activities that they want to do but aren't able to. We need to change this. BBS uses the power of sport to help people with sight loss lead more active and independent lives.
