Oxford have got used every Thursday, to hordes of children visiting the Dyslexia Research Trust's free clinic for children with visual reading problems. The DRT raises its money in any way possible. DRT Chairman, Professor John Stein, shamelessly enlists the help of his celebrity brother, Rick Stein, and anybody else in the family who will help! George Roberts ran the Isle of Wight Marathon for the Dyslexia Research Trust last year. It is one of the toughest road events in the UK - a scenic course with a 1500 foot ascent! George is 62 years old (!) and he has been running for 17 years. He runs for Eynsham Running Club, and he covers many miles a week.He raised over £3000 for our worthy cause Professor Stein’s youngest daughter, Kate Stein, ran the London Marathon for the DRT this year. Kate worked with the DRT for a year in 2004 before going to medical school. She said 'working with dyslexic children at the DRT free clinic has moved me to help raise funds for its wonderful work ever since'. She ran the marathon in only 4 1/2 hours and she raised over £10,000 for the clinic.
