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.

Story

<p>FIGHT FOR SIGHT is dedicated&nbsp;into funding research into the prevention and treatment of blindness and eye disease. By the age of 65&nbsp; 1 in 6 of us will become blind or partially sighted. The personal impact that this visual impairment has on peoples lives became apparent to me last&nbsp;year. I had a detached retina and nearly lost my sight but I am really grateful to the surgeon at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, who operated on me. I was very concerned that&nbsp;I would never be able to run again but Mr Bates told me to get back out there and run. So here&nbsp;I am back running for a very worth while cause.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
