Jack was born with the the most beautiful, big blue eyes. Strangers and family alike would always comment on how gorgeous they were. As he started to grow, one of his eyes also started to appear larger and more cloudy. We were unsure of what could be the cause, but with the support of our paediatrician KJ (and some prompting from Nanna) we were directed to Moorfields.

Jack was diagnosed with congenital glaucoma when he was 7 months old. This disease is the leading cause of blindness in children, but can be treated if caught early enough. Jack has undergone two surgeries and been so, so brave throughout. We have hopefully caught it in time to prevent any significant sight loss, but will need to manage his condition with special care for the rest of his life. 

The staff at Moorfields have been brilliant throughout, from the doctors and nurses, through to the play specialists that Jack loves to play with.

So, to show our support, we'll be walking five miles to fundraise for Moorfields. It'll be no easy challenge! Please support us and give what you can to this cause that is close to our heart. This will help fund life-changing eye research to deepen our understanding of eye disease.
