In only a few weeks time I am running the London Marathon for the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB).

Our family has a very strong connection to the RNIB so I'd greatly appreciate your support. 5 years ago my father suddenly lost most of his vision and the RNIB provided immediate, practical and very valuable support. Your donation - however small - will help make sure others can benefit from this too.

For those of you who have had to endure weeks (months ... maybe longer) of me banging on about it I am truly sorry ... for those who have luckily avoided me, to summarise - a) it's been hard work training, b) my knees hurt, c) never again.
