#MKruns262 for Sense

I’m running the London Marathon 2019 for Sense

And I’ll need your help

I’ve two goals:

  • To finish my first marathon
  • And most importantly, to fundraise £1,700 towards Sense

Let’s do it together. For Sense.

I’m really excited to share this news. On 28 April 2019, I’ll be participating in the even that has always been on my bucket list — Virgin Money London Marathon 2019.

Running a marathon is a big deal. Marathon is a long-distance race and has a distance of 26.2 miles (42.195 kilometres).

This will be my first marathon and I’m incredibly humbled that I’ll get to do this with Sense. I pledge to fundraise £1,700 towards the charity.

Sense supports living with complex disabilities. It unlock barriers to communication so everyone can enjoy meaningful lives – be it through speech or sign, touch or movement, gesture or sound, art or dance.

£25 donated towards Sense could help pay for colourful, textured sight and sound tubes. These tubes contain jingling bells, so a child who is deafblind can explore different sounds and sensations.

£50 could help pay for a set of five light-up sight and sound tubes for a child who is deafblind to help stimulate their vision and hearing.

£100 could pay for a visit from a Sense Children and Family Support Worker who can give invaluable advice and support to the whole family when they need it most.

£1,700 is a lot of money. But I believe if we come together as a community, we can do it.

To raise those funds, I’ll need your help. See my fundraising page here: justgiving.com/fundraising/MKruns262

Every penny counts and all donations are very much appreciated.

Please share widely that #MKruns262. Thank you.
