Story

Hi everyone!

I’m proud to be taking on the Great South Run this year in support of Deafblind UK.

You might be thinking to yourself "but he likes running, is this really a challenge?" Think again! After a 6 month string of injuries and a recent 5k race that rocked my confidence to it's very foundations, I truly could not be less prepared for a race this far.

Will I reach the finish line? Will I crash and burn beneath the majesty of the Spinnaker tower? Only time will tell...

Thank you so much for visiting my JustGiving page and donating to help Deafblind UK deliver practical and emotional support to thousands of people living with deafblindness every year.

This is a particularly meaningful cause to me and my family, and any donation you can offer, however big or small, will be hugely appreciated!
