Story

<div>Andy Watt's daughter Molly was diagnosed with Retinitus Pigmentosa December 2006; a condition which added to her severe deafness and one that is recognised as&nbsp;Ushers Syndrome - deafblindness.&nbsp;Although Molly&nbsp;is actually Deafblind, she is always smiling and positive. A true inspiration. She supports people worldwide with this condition through Facebook and she is an icon in the Deafblind world, having been awarded&nbsp;young Deafblind person of the year 2010 as accredited by Sense. She is the youngest ever holder of this award, being only&nbsp;16 years of age.&nbsp;</div> <div>In a nutshell, Molly is afflicted with a condition with no cure... yet.&nbsp;</div> <div>Andy has, through various fund raising events including the&nbsp;3 Peaks Challenge last year,&nbsp;raised some &pound;25k for Sense with the hope that one day a cure will be found.</div> <div>Andy and his team, Nino Caldaralo, John Thompson, Andy Sugden and Mick Mahoney, now hope to raise even more&nbsp;to help people with this condition by undertaking the Welsh 3000ers Mountain Challenge, guided by <a title="Run Snowdonia with Snowdonia Running Guides" href="http://runsnowdonia.co.uk/" target="_blank">Run Snowdonia</a>. You can read all about his event and what's involved on his event page:</div> <div><a title="Molly's Mountaineers" href="http://runsnowdonia.co.uk/events/event-private.aspx?Eventid=41&amp;run=6" target="_blank">Molly's Mountaineers</a>.</div> <div>So please dig deep and donate now.</div>
