Aged 80, this year he ran his 21<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;London Marathon in a row to fundraise for Sense. Bob is a retired primary school headteacher and is particularly proud that the \u00a335,000 he\u2019s raised so far helps us to support disabled children. Incredibly dedicated to our charity, Bob gets up at 5am every day to train and has recruited his granddaughter, Amelia, as a Sense marathon runner too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bob says: \u201cI\u2019ve visited Sense centres and seen the wonderful work this charity does to help disabled children to try new things, learn skills and make friends. Knowing I\u2019m actually helping youngsters there always motivates me to keep on running. I\u2019m proud to support Sense and to become an ambassador.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote is-style-primary-tint-10 has-x-small-font-size\"><blockquote><p>I am so proud of my grandad and of everything he has done to support this incredible charity.
