Story

Hello everyone,

My name is Ben and I am thrilled to announce that I will be running the London Marathon in 2025 in support of Deafblind UK. This cause is incredibly close to my heart, as many of my family members including my mum, who is my absolute hero, are affected by Retinitis Pigmentosa a genetic disorder that leads to progressive vision loss.

Deafblind UK provides essential support and services to individuals who are both deaf and blind, helping them lead fulfilling and independent lives. By running this marathon, I hope to raise awareness and funds to support their incredible work.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference. Your support will help provide vital resources, advocacy, and community for those living with dual sensory loss.

Join me on this journey to make a positive impact. Together, we can help create a brighter future for those affected by deafblindness.

Thank you for your generosity and support!

Ben
