2016 personal objectives
Like many of you I am setting my 2016 personal objectives one of which is to run the London marathon in aid of Sense deaf-blind people.
Key measures of success 26.2 miles, and target fund raising for Sense £1500.
Today I ran 15 miles still along way to go by 24th April but getting there, my funds raised so far however are sadly only at £330
Sense is an excellent cause every year thousands unfortunately lose hearing or sight from things such as Diabetes, if I can help by running the marathon and raise some money for Sense they can help to make life a little easier.
To help me get to my target sooner - I am prepared to run some of the marathon blindfolded to show a little how difficult lives can be without sight , if I manage to get my target by my 50th birthday on 24th January 2016!!! A challenge to you - to help me!!!!
Sense is the UK's largest organisation offering support to deaf-blind people and their families. Established in 1955 as a parent's support group, Sense now offers a range of services - including, advice, housing, education and practical help to children and adults who are both deaf and blind.
If you fancy supporting my causes it would be great if you could sponsor me with on my just giving link:

Now a reward to myself for my 15 miles today a glass of Prosecco and a piece of home made Christmas cake!
Happy new year and hope your personal objectives are achieved during 2016!
