Story

Hiya - thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you may know, last year I developed a very rare autoimmune condition which attacked my eyes.

It was quite a frightening few months not knowing why I couldn’t see properly anymore, and although I’ve been left with permanent eye damage it is totally manageable and I was very, very lucky.


Acute Multifocal Placoid Pigment Epitheliopathy (quite the mouthful eh?!) is a form of Uveitis - which is basically an inflammatory eye condition affecting the retinas, but the cause is sadly unknown.


I was really lucky to be treated at the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. They saved my vision & are continuing to ensure my peepers stay in good nick today, so I’d be so grateful for any donations to help them continue doing the amazing work they do. 👁

I’m running the London Marathon on what weather forecasts are saying could be the hottest day on record - so I’m going to need all the luck I can get (& a good few tinnies at the end). 

Any amount - no matter how big or small will make a difference. Thank you x
