Story

In April I am running the London marathon to raise money for the charity RP Fighting Blindness.
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited degenerate eye disease that leads to loss of vision and blindness. It affects 1 in 3000 to 4000 people. This is a charity very close to my heart as affects members of my family, my granny, uncle and two cousins.
At the moment there is no cure. Donations would be very much appreciated to help raise money to research for treatments and for support for those affected. Every contribution makes a great difference. Thank you so much!
