Story

Join Team Tony – Running for a Cure (Or Donate if Running’s Not Your Tea)

Meet Tony

Tony isn’t your average marathoner. Despite his visual impairment, he's conquered 7 marathons and is now on a mission to tackle the 6 Original Major Marathons in the next 2 years.

“I run for a cure – and for the sheer joy of proving nothing can hold you back when you’ve got heart,” Tony says.

Our Mission – €150,000 for Vital Research and Support

Team Tony is on a serious mission: to raise €150,000 for Fighting Blindness. Every euro helps fund essential research, counselling, and support services for those facing sight loss. As Tony puts it, “Every mile counts, and every bit of effort makes a difference.”

With your support, we can make sure that help reaches those who need it most.
