My Story

I Am Running the london marathon in 2024, I have watched the london marathon year after year from about the age of 5 knowing one day I will take part in such an amazing event. I am doing this for the charity VICTA, they are a small but national charity in the UK that empowers children and young adults who are blind or partially sighted and their families. i have choosen this charity as i have family and friends suffering with sight issues and seeing there struggles i feel this charity is doing amazing things helping children suffering with these issues and feelings of isolation and loneliness that are dominant within the world of visual impairment, VICTA use activity-based learning as a positive setting for social interaction. For the blind and partially sighted young people, involvement in team-based activities can be positively associated with social acceptance and a sense of belonging, especially where such involvement is characterised by positive coaching, progressive skill development and peer support. VICTA work hard to help young people question limiting presumptions they might have, helping them to view themselves and their potential in a new way. VICTA want them to be able to make a difference to their own lives. i will be very proud to run the marathon for VICTA as it has been a life ling dream of mine
