In just over a week on the 12th May 2024, I will be taking part in the Market Drayton 10K.

I have decided to do so as a fundraiser for Blind Veterans UK and to raise much needed funds for this fantastic charity

This is a charity very close to my heart, My dad was blinded 23 years ago whilst serving in the army. Since then he and my family have been cared for by blind veterans uk (formerly St Dunstan’s)

They have been instrumental in my dad’s recovery and they effectively given him his life back without Blind Veterans UK my dad would not be the person he is today and we as a family can not thank them enough for everything they have done and continue to do for us. He has been given life changing help with independent living skills, Mobility and adaptive technology. They also helped him come to terms with his blindness and helped him mentally recover from the traumatic events that caused his sight loss. All this has allowed him to become as independent as he can be both in his home and his local community.

I’m doing the 10k as a way to thank Blind Veterans UK and to raise some much needed funds for this charity,

so that more serving personnel and veterans can live a more independent life after sight loss just like my Dad.
