Hi everyone I’m Bob.

In my family there is my mum, my dad and my brother. I have to others and what makes my family great is them taking me to lots of activities at the weekends.

We travel to go up Canterbury, Birmingham, and Swansea to do football, athletics.

I got into sport, because when I was younger I always used to get teased because I couldn’t see the ball. Then I got involved of loads of weekends at visually impaired sports. I went to Arsenal sessions and they were pretty cool. I started running and I went to the British Blind Sport National Athletics Championships and I won three golds. I kept on training and I was put into England Visually Impaired Development Squad.

I’m wearing a T-shirt that says IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING and I got it when I completed the Mini-London marathon and I ran 2.56 miles.

I want to train for the Olympics in London 2012 and I’ll probably do 5,000 or 10,000, maybe up to a marathon – not sure yet.
