Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2013 I ran the Marathon des Sables cross the Sahara desert to raise awareness and to fund raise for this incredible charity. 

In 2015 I ran across Mongolia & The Kalahari

This years the adventures continue....as part of my challenge to raise £100,000 for 100 years service to blind and visually impaired Blind Veterans by BVUK (formally known as St Dunstuns).

I have completed 3 challenges so far for 2016

Challenge 1. Country to Capital 33miles (Unfortunately I was 12 miles short of finish as I got lost and missed the cut of time)

Challenge 2.The Addo Elephant Trail Run in South Africa 45 miles

Challenge 3. The Cresta Run, St Moritz, Switzerland

My next Challenge, Challenge 4 is the Silverstone Half Marathon..on Sunday!!

In June I will be taking part in my first Ironman 70.3.

In July I will be guiding a Blind Veteran 100k from London to Brighton

No rest for the small people!

Blind Veterans UK is a charity that I am very passionate about and I have seen the work they do first hand. It doesn't cost much to change veterans life young or old - they have given up so much for us so lets give something back!

Thank you for your time and your donations are much appreciated!

Best wishes,

Joey Sharma
