Mathew's fundraiser for Royal Society for Blind Children

London Marathon 2025 · 27 April 2025 · Start fundraising for this event
I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be participating in the London Marathon 2025, taking place on April 27th. I'm running to support the Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC)
The statistics are staggering - with an estimated 44,000 blind and partially sighted children in England and Wales, and four more children being diagnosed with sight loss every day.
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 realize 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.
I'm asking for your support in helping me reach my fundraising goal of £2,500 for this important cause. Your contribution will make a meaningful difference in the lives of these children.
