We foster and fund research to improve lives for people with nystagmus.

Story

In 2018, our younger son Zachary was diagnosed with congenital Nystagmus, which affects his ability to see properly, recognise faces and perceive depth and impacts on his day-to-day life. 

He is remarkably resilient and having had it since birth remarks that "there's nothing wrong with my eyes Daddy!" He overcomes this obstacle and is very active, loving football in particular. 

At present there's no treatment for Nystagmus, and we would love to see that change in the future. The Nystagmus Network funds ongoing research so we're running the Royal Parks together* to raise funds to support this work. 

We'd love for you to sponsor us and maybe even come and cheer us on!

*We're not actually running together together as our pacing is somewhat different and would more likely end in marital strife than harmony ;-)

Nystagmus means involuntary movements of the eye. It impairs vision, affecting focus and depth perception. At least 1 in 1,000 babies are born with nystagmus. There is currently no cure. The Nystagmus Network is a UK registered charity which provides support, raises awareness and funds research.
