As I am running the Marathon on Sunday to raise money for the RNIB I thought my five year old daughter Paige, who has been blind from birth, should be allowed her say.
Actually Paige always has her say whether you want her to or not!
Over to Paige:
On the fundraising: “The money is to buy extra Braille books for children and extra help for blind adults and children. My favourite books are Rainbow Magic but I don’t want them in Braille because then I would have to read them and I don’t want to, I want Mummy to read them.”
On the Marathon: “I think the marathon is 26 miles which is in the north of England. I think the marathon is cool and I’m going to watch you on Sunday. I’m going to save my loudest voice for Sunday but I’m only going to shout for people called Daddy.”
On all the spectators: “I like pushing my way through a perilous crowd. I’m just going to go barge, barge barge.”
On her contribution to this post: She wrote: “fjfjfjfjfjfjfjfjjfjjjffghjkdqbv1234567890.”
On what she would like YOU to do: “Pay all your money you have in the world to the RNIB. Everyone should give £120.”
Over to you…
How did you get on Mike???
Hi Mel, I made it around in 4.5 hours. I think the adrenaline carried me through the last half of the race but it was a fantastic experience, and one I think I’m going to have to repeat!
How did you get on?
Wow you beat me – see all that self doubt! You did amazingly. I ran for 3 minutes and walked for a minute all the way around – I finished in 5 hours and 43 mins and am well pleased…..I may enter for next year. Certainly one way to keep the weight off. Catch you next year!!!
Someone needs to hire that girl as a copywriter
