The charity that supports and campaigns for people who are both deaf and blind across Cambridgeshire, has guaranteed places for the iconic race in April.
Tara Hamdi from Sense, said: “The London Marathon is one of the world’s greatest but getting a place can be difficult, so Sense wants to give local runners the chance to run for a cause close to home. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a novice we’ll support you every step of the way, from training and fundraising to the big day itself.”
If you would like to run for Sense, you can register online at www.sense.org.uk/londonmarathon, call the Marathon Hotline on 0300 330 9257 or email [email protected]. The closing date is January 23.
Sense is a national charity that has supported and campaigned for children and adults who are deafblind for over 50 years. There are currently around 250,000 deafblind people in the UK. Sense provides specialist information, advice and services to deafblind people, their families, carers and the professionals who work with them. Further information can be found on Sense’s website – www.sense.org.uk
Deafblindness is a combination of both sight and hearing difficulties. Some of these people are completely deaf and blind, but others have some remaining use of one or both senses.
