On 24 July 2011, Vanessa Ugatti successfully completed a 10k run in Southbourne to raise funds for the Dorset Blind Association.  Vanessa was inspired to run again in support of this worthy cause, having recently become friends with an 85 year old lady who is totally blind and lives alone.

Vanessa commented by saying “Living with blindness is a far greater challenge than running a few miles and raising some sponsorship money although I still see it as an achievement.”
