“Today was tough” said Virginia, one of our runners. “But it was amazing doing it for this amazing charity.”

Despite the heatwave, all our runners crossed the finish line and picked up their medals.

Another runner, Shabana said: “I still can’t comprehend what happened yesterday. It was just an incredible day. Thank you SeeAbility.”
