1st Half Marathon

Well that's done it!!

I've entered the Eastbourne Half Marathon.

Having never run more than 10 miles (well not in one go) I've decided to go for just over 13. Still the training is going well and I ran 10 miles on Saturday 4th February, however I didn't realise just how addictive running can be. It seems to occupy my mind several times a day!!

I have also found that it's a great way of thinking clearly whilst dodging puddles and dog walkers.

I am raising money for the East Sussex Association Of Blind And Partially Sighted People (ESAB). ESAB works with over 1,700 local people who are blind or partially sighted and offer clients information, training and support.   ESAB want their clients to have the same opportunities as sighted people, to be more confident and knowledgeable and have increased choice and control in their lives. 

They also deliver vision awareness training for carers, local businesses and community groups.  This helps the wider community understand how they can help people with a visual impairment to overcome some of the problems they face.

There are many different causes of blindness and people experience their sight loss in different ways. This is why ESAB focuses on individuals and develops a Seeing the Future plan with each client to identify their aims and how they can support them to achieve these.

Many of ESAB’s clients are over the age of 65 but they are working with increasing numbers of younger people.
