Story

Hey!

We’re excited to share that we will be running the 2025 London Marathon! This is not just a personal challenge, but an opportunity to raise funds for a an amazing cause —the Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC).

Please consider donating to a fantastic cause. No donation is too small, and every contribution will bring us closer to our goal.

Why This Matters

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 first 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 programes and activities, building amazing friendships.

How You Can Help

We will be training hard to complete this marathon as fast as possible. Would be great to have your support along the way - every pound raised will go directly to helping the RSBC provide life-changing support for children in need.

Thank you so much for your generosity and for helping RSBC make a difference in the lives of blind and visually impaired children.

Let’s make this marathon count!
