Thank you for visiting my JustGiving Page. I am taking on the London Marathon in 2020 to raise money for RSBC.

My good friends children have a condition called Achromatopsia which is characterized by partial or total absence of colour vision. People with complete Achromatopsia cannot perceive any colours; they only see black and white and shades of grey. Other associated problems with the condition are increased sensitivity to light and glare (photophobia), involuntary back-and-forth eye movements (nystagmus), and significantly reduced sharpness of vision (low visual acuity) .Affected individuals can also have farsightedness (hyperopia) or, less commonly, nearsightedness (myopia). These vision problems develop in the first few months of life.

RSBC is a charity that has offered education, advice, guidance and training for my friends children and other children who are blind or partially sighted. Their ultimate objective is to provide all that is required for these children to lead independent lives within their own communities.
