Well done Simon!

Simon Hughes running in the Prague Marathon

A big well done to Simon Hughes who ran the Prague Marathon this May.

Simon completed the marathon in four hours and 56 minutes and raised over £400 for RNIB. His cousin is Tiri Hughes, who is 12 and registered partially sighted.

Tiri's mum Laura said:

"We are so proud of Simon! He has never done any running before so this was a huge challenge for him. He has always been very sympathetic about Tiri's sight problems and is a great cousin to both her and her little brother Tom."
