Story

Hi everyone,

Here we go again! I have made what is to some people the mad decision to run the London Marathon on Sunday 26th April to raise money for Retina UK. Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited degenerative eye disease and is a common form of blindness in the UK that affects many people. This charity is very close to my heart with members of my family, including my Granny, Uncle and two Cousins being affected. 

There is currently no cure so any donations would be really really appreciated and will go a long way to helping the research so we will hopefully stop this progressive sight loss one day! Thank you all so much X
