Story

Ryan Simões-Hibberd who is completely blind is running the Devizes Half Marathon on 8th April 2018 to raise £1,000 for Wiltshire Air Ambulance (WAA) with Matt Penton as his guide runner.

Ryan lost his sight in 2009 after a car accident and the Wiltshire Air Ambulance saved his life.

His determination is remarkable and won't let his disability get in his way especially when running for such a great and important cause that has saved thousands of lives.

This will only be Ryan's second half marathon and a big challenge to run this distance and make the donation target for Wiltshire Air Ambulance.
