Thank you for visiting the Birdshot Uveitis Society Team (BUS) fundraising page. We are participating in the Fight for Sight Carrots Night Walk to raise funds for Birdshot research and the Birdshot Biobank project.
Birdshot is a potentially blinding form of posterior uveitis. There is currently no known cure. It is treated with toxic medication that adversely affect quality of life.
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.
The Carrots Night Walk is taking place on September 21st, 2012 and our participants will walk 15 miles through London by night.
We are fielding as many people as possible (BUS members, friends, families and health professionals) who need to raise at least £250 each to help us reach our target of at least £12,000.
If we can raise more than the target of £12,000, we will be delighted!
