Lisa runs the Marathon for #TeamKAB!

Lisa McCartney is raising money for Kent Association for the Blind

London Marathon 2025 · 27 April 2025 ·

Support our KAB runners at the London Marathon, which takes place on Sunday 27th April. Our team of runners are supporting a great cause, helping children and adults who have a sight impairment.

Story

I first learned about KAB when I met with Eithne Rynne (CEO) for a work meeting. As we sat together, drinking tea and eating cake, she shared the story of KAB and the incredible people they help every day. Her words moved me to tears. From that moment, I felt a deep commitment to support this inspiring organisation. As an avid runner, I couldn’t think of a better way to contribute than by running the London Marathon to raise money for them.

During my time at Practice Plus Group, I’ve built strong connections with both the staff and volunteers at KAB. I’m constantly amazed by their tireless efforts to promote independent living for those with sight impairments. Every day, I witness patients who live with these challenges, along with their loved ones, carers, and friends offering support. It’s humbling to see the vital role KAB plays in their lives. Whether through counselling or providing low vision aids, this charity makes a real difference, even in the small things like helping someone make a cup of tea or maximise the use of available light—things we often take for granted.

Sight is something we can easily lose due to age, accidents, illness, or hereditary conditions. KAB’s work is life-changing, and while my fundraising is just a small contribution, every pound you donate WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Thank you.
