Andrew Pemberton has been volunteering for Feed the Hungry since October 2010 helping around the office and looking after our Amazon account.
Andrew was born with congenital cataracts, which when operated on over the next 2 ½ years left Andrew with very little sight in his left eye and partial vision in the other, the result of this traumatic early years were also to leave him with severe learning difficulties. ( Not that you would think it by the way he ribs me)
Despite all these challenges, Andrew has been become a excellent team member of Feed the Hungry. In March this year Andrew took up the challenge to run the Cardiff Half Marathon on 16th October. When asked why Cardiff why run at all? Andrew said that now he had a goal to work to for Feed the Hungry it seemed a good idea to combine it to run in his home town.
Andrew has now run several 5k runs in the Leicestershire and Warwickshire area where he now lives. And is supported by Nuneaton Harries to get him up an running......
If you would like to sponsor Andrew send me an email me at gwilliams@feedthehungry.org or facebook Andrew Pemberton message and we will add you to the list of sponsors.
We will have Sponsor page up and running over the next few days
