Jenny and Dave's Running Challenge
To help raise money for Moorvision, an amazing charity that has helped our whole family adapt to having a visually impaired child, I have entered three very challenging running events:
Southampton half marathon (5th May)
Asics London 10k (21st July)
Bournemouth marathon (6th October)
Our son, who is now 7, was born visually impaired with ocular albinism, a condition where the eyes lack melanin pigment. He also has a nystagmus (involuntary back-and-forth movement of the eyes), sensitivity to light, difficulty seeing in school and doing some sports. He is unlikely to be able to drive when he is older.
I wouldn't describe myself as a runner, or even someone who enjoys running. But my wife is even less of a runner than me! However, she has agreed to run the London 10k too, which will be a huge challenge for her. Please support us both!
