VAO team take on British 10km run

A group of fundraisers completed the British 10km run for Vision Aid Overseas (VAO) despite torrential rain earlier this month.

The race took in some of the main sights of London including Trafalgar Square, Big Ben and St Paul's Cathedral.

Victoria Cox, VAO international programme officer, said: 'Being able to run in the shadow of the Olympics was a great feeling. I think we were all glad to see the finish line though and take refuge from the rain. I would like to thank all of our runners for making such a big effort.'
