<p>I am currently doing a PhD on Macular Degeneration, an age-related degenerative type of blindness 1 out of 3 people will develop after 80 years of age, kindly sponsored by the charity Fight for Sight. I thought it's time I do something for them as well, so I'm doing the Carrot Nightwalk!</p> <p>The Carrot Nightwalk is an event organised by Fight for Sight. Participants, like me, will be walking 15 miles in London, by night. To add a bit of fun, I will be dressing as a carrot (I will also be making my own costume!)</p> <p>All the money raised goes to reasearch in common eye diseases such as galucoma and macular degeneration, but also rare diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa.</p> <p>Fight for Sight are the biggest charity in the UK sponsoring eye research and you can check all their achievements here: <a href="http://www.fightforsight.org.uk/achievements">http://www.fightforsight.org.uk/achievements</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Whether you want to help funding good research,&nbsp; or have me walk around London dressed as a carrot (I promise I will), please donate as little or as much as you can! It will be much appreciated!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>P.S.: 1. All the money donated goes to the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Anyone is welcome to join, so if you also want to be a carrot for one night, join in!&nbsp;<a href="http://www.fightforsight.org.uk/carrots-info">http://www.fightforsight.org.uk/carrots-info</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Salome Murinello</p> <p>________________________________________________________</p> <p>See the photos from the walk at:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/fightforsightuk">https://www.facebook.com/fightforsightuk</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
