She spoke to Chris Evans on radio 2.

Here is a transcript:
I’m Lily, I’m 11 years old and live in Yorkshire.
I have a visual impairment – my distance vision is only about 10% and my near vision is poor too. This means it’s harder for me to do everyday things and sometimes I miss out on taking part in sports. It can be tough being different to other children; sometimes I get tired of being left out.
I started going away for weekends with The Outlook Trust who are funded by Children in Need. Lots of young people like me get to do loads of different activities I wouldn’t normally have thought possible. I’ve been sailing, kayaking, gorge walking and cycling. I never feel like the odd one out, and they’ve shown me I can do anything.
I always look forward to going away with them, it helps me be independent and build my confidence – and of course, have fun!
Thanks to everyone who donated to Children in Need.
