My blind great nephew is at it again!!

Many of you kind people were sufficiently impressed about my 13 year old born blind great nephew Theo to help him raise thousands of pounds recently (rather than the hundreds he expected) for his charity 'Batman & Robin' tandem bike ride.

I dedicated my book to him because he is such an inspiration, and now he's at it again!

The news is that he has been nominated for an award and I thought you might like to hear about it 

Basically he and some (equally blind) friends have created "The Tactile Times" – a braille newspaper for unsighted people around the world - this has earned them a nomination for the best community communication category in the RNIB awards - but, to win, he needs your vote! 

(N.B. Voting closes on the24th November this Tuesday).

Theo, and two of his friends, have been nominated for the award from the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), the UKs largest charity for the blind and visually impaired. 

You can see more about the awards here:

If you are so minded, you could vote for Theo and his friends by texting HERO 4 to 70100, or you can click on the following link: https://www.rnib.org.uk/see-differently-awards/vote.

I make no apology for telling you about his extraordinary achievements because I have been lucky enough to witness his extraordinary courage and determination and creativity – and I have no doubt there is a great deal more to come in the years ahead . Keep well, Jeremy
