In September this year (17th – 30th) I am organising a bike ride in aid of research into the rare hereditary eye condition that I suffer from called Choroideremia . I plan to raise the money and donate it through Fight for Sight, directly to the researchers at Imperial College in London.

The ride will take place over two weeks in the Pyrenees mountain range. Stephen Greetham and I aim to cycle as many vertical metres as possible and get sponsored for every metre. Our aim is to scale at least 5 times the equivalent height of Mount Everest (8850m) throughout the course of the trip!

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Fight for Sight will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
