Diana Runs the London Marathon in 2024 for RSBC!
Diana Richter is raising money for Royal Society for Blind Children
Story
I'm running the London Marathon this April 2024!
On Sunday 21st of April 2024 I'm running my very first marathon in my new hometown, London, in support of the Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC). I hope you will consider sponsoring me in taking on 26.1 miles for this worthy cause!
A little bit more about RSBC
Today there are an estimated 44,000 blind and partially sighted children in England and Wales. Each day, four more children will be diagnosed with sight loss.
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.
