Story
Ever since I can remember, I have dreamed about running the London Marathon aged 18. And I am so grateful to the charity SeeAbility for providing me with this opportunity.
SeeAbility has transformed my brother and my family's life. Previously Luke had to go to the hospital in order to attend sight appointments. This was a traumatic experience for him, us and the NHS staff. SeeAbility now provides this support in school, making the process so much easier and accessible for everyone. Luke even got to meet the Duchess of Edinburgh who is a patron of the charity. In recent years as a result of SeeAbilitiy's support, he is growing up to become a more engaged and talkative young boy.
SeeAbility specialises in supporting people who have learning disabilities, who may also have sight loss. The charity encourages people with disabilities to challenge what they expect from life, from themselves and from wider society. The people they support overcome huge barriers to achieve exciting new things every day - they challenge us all to think about what’s possible and to rethink disability.
