After last year's total washout, I am challenging myself to run the Royal Parks Half Marathon for Leonard Cheshire again - hopefully feeling much less soggy!

Leonard Cheshire supports individuals to live, learn and work as independently as they choose, whatever their ability. Led by people with experience of disability, they are at the heart of local life - opening doors to opportunity, choice and support in communities around the globe. They believe that diversity creates a world of possibility and through pioneering research and innovation are building a fairer, more inclusive society. One that recognises the positive contributions we all make, and where we are all proud to play our part. Leading by example, Leonard Cheshire does everything humanly possible to empower people to live their lives as freely and as fully as they choose.
