A Message from Stevie
"It’s my dream to go to New York City Marathon and since March 2019, Nikki has been training hard with me every week. She’s so amazing and I can’t do the NY marathon without her guiding because I am deaf and blind, which requires help to navigate the marathon course."
Stevie Jensen needs to travel and compete with a Guide that he knows and trusts- due to his Dual loss of both Hearing and Vision.
Nikki has trained and raced with Stevie throughout 2019. Which included guiding him in 3 x Half Marathons.
There is a video documentary being produced by Andy Taylor on Stevie Jensen's amazing Journey to compete in the New York City Marathon (part of this footage can be viewed on this page)
We now need help to get his Guide Nikki there.
