About my charity

The statistics on blindness are staggering. But people do not go blind by the million, they go blind one by one, and for each person the impact is enormous. Poverty and blindness are a formidable combination, depriving many people in the developing world of basic human rights. Loss of sight often results in social exclusion, making blind people vulnerable to abuse, poverty and early death. Less than half of all children who lose their sight will survive to adulthood. The figures appear overwhelming, yet providing help is simple.

I have been fortunate to be selected to join the Standard Chartered London Marathon squad and will be raising money for Seeing is Believing. This is a Standard Chartered Bank charity that I am personally very passionate about.

I ran the marthon last year  in 4 hours, 36 minutes and with the knowledge of what to expect this year, I hope to improve my time and set a new personal best. Any spare penny you donate for this good cause will be greatly appreciated and ensure those 26.2miles are run for a great cause.

Thanks in advance

Laura
