My Story

About Clearvision

ClearVision runs a postal lending library of children’s books designed to be shared by children and adults with and without sight. They lend books all across the UK.

ClearVision books all have braille, regular print and pictures. This allows children with sight impairment to share books with their sighted friends and family. It also allows adult braille readers to enjoy stories with sighted children. There are over 10,000 books in the collection, catering for children from birth until they’re independent readers.

My Story

I have always loved a good book. That is down to all of the stories and non-fiction that I absorbed as a child.

Because my Dad is a Braille reader, ClearVision books allowed us to share in the experience of reading, a small and seemingly simple service which has contributed to a life-long love of the written word. 

Those words can transport us to other worlds or let us learn more about this one and the people that inhabit it.

I am very proud to be running for the Clearvision project, so that many more visually impaired children and adults can delight in a good book and a shared story. 

About the London Marathon

The London Marathon has become an annual, inspiring and colourful fixture in the world’s sporting calendar since the inaugural race on 29 March 1981: a celebration of fun, fundraising and fancy dress.

Over the years more than a million people have completed the 26.2-mile course – which runs from Blackheath to The Mall, with a spectacular finish in front of Buckingham Palace, showcasing the very best that the capital city has to offer.

What’s more, these participants have raised over a billion pounds for charity and there have been countless amazing tales of human achievement throughout the event’s history – living up to its aim of helping participants ‘to have fun, and provide some happiness and sense of achievement in a troubled world’.
