On Sunday 27th September, I am running the "Run to the Beat" Half marathon in London to raise money for the Eye Research Funding Charity, Fight for Sight. This charity funds scientific projects and students around UK to promote research for people with eye sight problems. Fight for Sight funded my PhD studentship in Cambridge for 3 years so I felt more than indebted to them. I would like to run the half marathon as a gesture of appreciation to all those who have donated their money to Fight for Sight. Please continue to donate. Think how beautiful this world is and how every person should be able to see it with their own eyes.
Please visit my fundraising page to offer your donation. Every penny counts and it will make me run faster if I have people's support! Nomatter how small your contribution is, it is much appreciated!
I have run a marathon before (Paris, 2008 in 5hrs 20min) and two half marathons in 2009 (Rotterdam, 2:20; Cambridge 2:05). I am now aiming to run in 1hr 40min just for Fight for Sight! Your donations will motivate me more during my training and the race. I will be keeping you updated on my progress. I am so excited and will do my best to run as fast as humanly impossible!
