My daughter ‘Holly’ who sadly died shortly after being born in 2002 would have had significant disabilities requiring complex care needs after suffering a hypoxic brain injury.

Our life would have been so different in so many ways!

This is why I want to run the London marathon both for Holly’s memory, but more importantly to raise awareness and funding for Sense charity.

Sense helps people with deaf-blindness or complex disabilities to communicate, and experience the world fulfilling their full potential.

Sense experts offer personalised support through their centres, holidays and short breaks, or in people’s own homes. They are there for everyone who needs them, for as long as they need them – providing early intervention for children, helping young people access education, and supporting the transition into adulthood and beyond.

Please be as generous as you can.

I just hope I can be strong enough to complete one of my life goal challenges in finishing the London Marathon.

Thanks Steve x
