It’s a great team, we have some real laughs. We’ve all got the same humour, and sometimes what we have to read will set us off!

Matt
I really enjoyed the day - it was my first half marathon, and to run for a great charity made it even more worthwhile.

Max and his Trike
Max is 4 years old and was registered with Vista at the age of 1, as sight impaired.
Steph added, “When he's riding his trike, he's like any other little boy, just out riding his bike. For me as his mum it's massively important that he gets to enjoy things that every other child does. We're so grateful to Vista for helping us to fund Max's trike, it's opened up a whole new world for him.”
