Runner and guide marry after seven years side by side
A Woman who thought her visual impairment made running " too difficult and inaccessible" has married The Man who became her running guide.
Kelly Barton, from Southport, had never been running until she decided to try a parkrun event in 2016 and Mike Leatherbarrow stepped in as her guide.
After seven years of parkruns, half marathons and even the London Marathon , the pair married last week.
" We just fell in love over the miles, " Ms Barton said.
" The First Time I ran with Mike I didn't know him and I'm putting my cane down and putting my trust in him, " She Said .
" It's lovely as you Build Up The Trust because you can relax into the running and just start to really enjoy it. "
Mr Leatherbarrow had been a volunteer at the London 2012 Paralympics when he was inspired to become a running guide for visually-impaired people and had been taking part in the weekend run at Southport's Hesketh Park for about seven months before Ms Barton joined.
" If you're a guide assisting a visually-impaired runner you've got to have a relationship of trust between yourselves, " He Said .
" We had that, and as the miles progressed so did Our Love for one another. "
" We chatted a lot because running long distances can be quite boring, " Ms Barton said.
" After we ran so many miles together we got to know each other and we just fell in love over the miles. "
