Story
🌟 A Personal Journey for a Worthy Cause 🌟
For the first time in my life, I’m taking on a challenge that feels both daunting and exhilarating: I’m going to run the London Marathon! 🏃♂️💨
Isn’t this an Exciting News? 🎉 🎉
I’ve never run a mile in my life (unless you count sprinting to catch the bus), but this time I’m pushing myself beyond my limits to conquer the daunting 42.2 km (26.1 miles) of the full marathon distance. Why? Because I would like to raise funds for the Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC). Their work provides vital support for blind children and their families, helping them lead fulfilling lives.
This important cause is particularly close to my heart as well, as I had a dear friend (Don Pietro) who was blind (RIP), and I understand the difficulties blind people encounter in their daily life routine. And by raising funds for the Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC), I want to honor his memory for everything he taught me when I was a teenager.
I promise you, that every drop of sweat will be for a good cause, and I’ll probably be making some interesting faces along the way 😊
Here’s where you come in: Your support means everything to me, and I’m seeking your help! Every donation, no matter how small, will help make a real difference in the lives of these amazing children. Let’s make sure they have the tools and resources they need to thrive. By raising at least £2,500 we can grant one year of support for a blind child and his family.
Together, we can bring light and hope to those who need it most.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Your generosity will make a world of difference! ❤️
