We help blind veterans to discover a life beyond sight loss

Story

I never thought I would be running a marathon, in the same way I never thought I would fit into a medium sized top. The last two years have shown me that anything is possible.

I wanted to use this opportunity to do something positive and try and raise some money.

My grandfather went blind a few years ago now and after being in the services when he was younger he was able to get support from this amazing charity. They supported him so much and provided a variety of adaptions that made his life a lot easier. I've chosen this charity as a thank you for the support they have and continue to offer to my grandfather and all other veterans.
