Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Imagine being told that you, or someone you love, is losing their sight. In that moment, two profound questions demand urgent answers: Can this be stopped? How will I live my life? We fund the brilliant minds and bright ideas, putting change in sight for everyone impacted by vision loss.

<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background-color: #ffffff;"> <p style="margin-top: 0.1pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.1pt; margin-left: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">I'm off again... this time the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London on 9 October with my running buddy Angela.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Once again I'm fundraising for Dylan's condition Choroideremia, which was diagnosed last year.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">The rare genetic eye condition is degenerative meaning that he will lose his sight unless a cure is found.</span>&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-top: 0.1pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.1pt; margin-left: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">There is no cure or treatment at the moment, but the good news is that there are many exciting developments and&nbsp; researchers are hopeful that a treatment will be found. We're running to raise money for Fight For Sight which funds the research into curing retinal dystrophies. The money you give will go directly and immediately to the teams working on Dylan's condition. &nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">We recieved amazing support when we asked for donations earlier in the year, and I am sorry to be approaching you again, but the research is moving at a great pace and more funds will make a massive difference to finding that cure quickly.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Thank you so much for your support.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Bridget and Dylan</span></p> </span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">JustGiving sends your donation straight to Fight for Sight and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you're a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
