My Story

Hi I'm Grant and I'm taking on the 2024 TCS New York Marathon in November and 2025 TCS London Marathon in April all to raise funds for the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), the UK's leading sight loss charity and the largest community of blind and partially sighted people. 

I am partially sighted due to a rare eye condition called Retinoschisis, despite this challenge, I'm determined to complete both marathons and support the amazing work RNIB does for people with sight loss like myself. 

Training for 2 marathons has been a huge challenge, both physically and mentally. Navigating my runs while being partially sighted requires great focus and determination to stay on track. Every step I take in training brings me closer to proving that sight loss doesn't define what we can achieve. This journey has taught me resilience, and I hope it can inspire others to push beyond their limits. 

RNIB provides life changing support for those of us with visual impairments, ensuring we have the tools and confidence to live independent and fulfilling lives. By supporting my marathon runs, you're helping RNIB continue their vital work, from offering emotional support to providing practical help, like adaptive technologies for those with sight loss.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings me closer to my fundraising goal and supports a cause that means the world to me. thank you for your generosity and for joining me on this journey.
