<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #1c1c1c;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am participating in the Fight for Sight Carrots Night Walk to raise funds for Birdshot research and the Birdshot Biobank project. </span></span></p>

There is currently no known cure and it is treated with toxic medication that adversely affect quality of life. </span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #1c1c1c;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Birdshot Biobank will store samples from people with Birdshot so that research can be undertaken to try and find the cause of Birdshot uveitis and prevent it for future generations. We are also hoping to find better treatments for this chronic, auto-immune, sight threatening disease.</span></span></p>
