My name is Simon Wheatcroft and I currently reside in a small village called Rossington near Doncaster in the UK.  I live with my wife and our very young son Grayson, who will no doubt get lots of mention as he gets a little older! I have been registered blind for over a decade through the degenerative eye disorder Retinitis Pigmentosa.

This blog tells the story of how I adapt to daily life and the trials and tribulations involved in being blind.  Its main focus is my passion for running and my ambition to become an ultra runner.  I currently train outdoors solo with the aid of RunKeeper for the iPhone.

My other passion is for my education and I am currently on track to obtain my BSc in Psychology.  I hope to continue my education and obtain a postgraduate degree and enter into the profession.
