Becky and Uan are racing across the South West to get from Penzance,Cornwall back to Swindon, Wiltshire in just 5 days, sounds easy enough right!?
Except the only form of transport they will have available to them is Walking and Becky's trusty Disabled bus pass!
Think BBCs Race Across The World but on The UK Buses!
For many Blind and Visually impaired people in particular a Concessionary/Disabled bus pass is a life line and can give individuals a route out of isolation.
So with this in mind Becky who is registered severely sight impaired/blind and her husband Uan will be taking on the mammoth challenge of navigating through 4 counties (Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Wiltshire) in a race to get back home in just 5 days.
They will start their journey by catching a train to Penzance setting off on a Tuesday morning to return by Saturday. With no overnight accommodation booked they will need to find accommodation or take their chances with some wild camping along the way!
Becky is the Chairperson for Swindon Bats a charity set up to help Blind and Visually impaired people in Swindon and the surrounding areas access Sports and Social opportunities that are accessible and provide a sense of community to those coping with sight loss.
For more information about the Charity please see their Website: www.swindonbats.org
Any donation you make to this fantastic charity would be so appreciated. No matter how big or small. Thank you so much ❤️
The race is set to start on Tuesday 26th of August 2025. Let's try and smash the target to help them both on this exciting adventure. On your marks, get set.....go!
