An RAF Warrant Officer, who has set himself the challenge of running 1434 miles in less than ten months, is inviting supporters to join him for the final leg of his journey in Llandudno, North Wales. The funds raised will be going to Blind Veterans UK, the national charity for vision-impaired ex-Service men and women.

Gareth Prytherch, originally from Llandudno, set himself a New Year’s challenge of running 1434 miles to raise funds for and awareness of the national charity, which provides free lifelong support to vision-impaired ex-Service men and women.

A blind veteran from Chorley, Lancashire has celebrated his 90th birthday by traveling down Zip World Velocity in Bethesda, North-West Wales, the fastest zip line in the world, and the longest in Europe.

Bob Hill raised money for Blind Veterans UK, the national charity for blind and vision-impaired ex-Service men and women, by flying down the world famous wire, on which he clocked 100mph.

Far from planning a quiet and low-key affair, Bob decided to opt for a more unconventional way of celebrating his birthday. It was when a friend suggested this particular activity to Bob that he knew he’d found what he was looking for.
