Story

Last year I ran my "first and probably last" Charity 5K in Margate. I might have bitten off more than I can chew but this year I'm aiming to run 50 5Ks in 2022, as part of Take On 250. Ideally I'd like different people to join me for one run in one month who would hopefully help promote my activity in that month and raise some additional funds for KAB. If you'd like to join me for a run, please get in touch.

Every day in the UK, 250 people begin to lose their sight. Kent Association for the Blind will be there for people as they come to terms with losing their sight. KAB offers practical and emotional support, advice and guidance, whether it's tips on cooking safely, reading, walking with a long cane or advice on benefits. The Take on 250 campaign is a great way to raise money for KAB, so that it can continue to provide much needed services for people with a sight impairment, including its Eye Clinic Liaison Officers, Counselling, Support and Social Groups.
