On Sunday 23rd of April 2023, I am running the 42.2 km (26.1 miles) London Marathon to support the Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC). I believe that no child should grow up to be poor or lonely just because they are blind.

Blind children are twice as likely to be bullied. One in three will suffer from depression and other mental health issues. 90% will never have a long-term job. Two thirds of blind people are living on or below the poverty line. Most will never have a meaningful relationship.

RSBC help blind children to realise their potential. They run a family support service, working with families to help provide the best possible environment for their child to grow and thrive. They also help blind children to develop confidence and independence through a range of programmes and activities, building amazing friendships.
