My story ~ Dan Stratford<br />

Every so often you come across people who inspire you to better<br />

yourself, question yourself and realign your perceptions.<br />

When you meet children who are born without sight from birth but lead<br />

happy fulfilling lives, without the slightest sign of barriers or worry, it<br />

makes the woes in one's own life, pale into insignificance!<br />

MACS (Microphthalmia, Anophthalmia & Coloboma Support, Registered charity number<br />

1161897) is a very small charity which strives to make the lives of children and teens<br />

born without sight or severe visual impairment better.<br />

I will be setting out to raise £2000 for this amazing charity by running not only a number<br />

of half marathons and fund raising events but topping it all off by running (probably<br />

walking as well) the London Marathon!!!<br />

I would be incredibly grateful for any donations, big or small to go towards the final total.<br />

Many thanks to those who have already donated.<br />
