Donations cannot currently be made to this page

BUPA Great Manchester Run 2012 · 20 May 2012 ·

Nystagmus means involuntary movements of the eye. It impairs vision, affecting focus and depth perception. At least 1 in 1,000 babies are born with nystagmus. There is currently no cure. The Nystagmus Network is a UK registered charity which provides support, raises awareness and funds research.

Story

<p>Last year I watched my inspirational friend Mel, and some of her wonderful friends,&nbsp;put a massive amount of effort into organising,&nbsp;training and&nbsp;running&nbsp;the Manchester 10k.</p> <p>All the&nbsp;effort was&nbsp;in aid of the Nystagmus Network, a charity close to all of their hearts. Mel's lovely little&nbsp;boy Harley was born with&nbsp;Nystagmus - an involuntary movement of the eyes which can seriously reduce vision.</p> <p>I was ashamed that I couldn't manage the run too to help with the fundraising. So during&nbsp;the past year, I've got myself into better shape and&nbsp;I'm not promising a record time or&nbsp;that I'm going to sprint all the way round but I'm going to try my very best and will cross that&nbsp;finish line as best I can - even if I have to crawl!!</p> <p>I want to top up Mel's fantastic donation and help the Nystagmus Network continue their scientific research,&nbsp;support and work in raising the awareness of this lesser know condition.</p> <p>All donations are greatly appreciated!</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Laura xx</p>
