Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Through 2020 I’ll be partaking in a number of events to raise money for CHECT a small charity who provide care and support for families affected by Retinoblastoma.

The first event I've chosed is part of the RunThrough series and is a 10k around Regent's Park. For this event CHECT is the offical partner for RunThrough.

Retinoblastoma (Rb) is a type of eye cancer that affects young children, mainly under the age of six. It develops in the cells of the retina, the light sensitive lining of the eye. Around 40-50 cases are diagnosed in the UK every year – approximately one child a week. Retinoblastoma can either affect one or both eyes.

CHECT is the only charity in the UK dedicated to helping people affected by retinoblastoma (Rb). 

By: 

•     Providing support and information to families and individuals

•     Raising awareness among health professionals and the public

•     Funding research into the diagnosis and treatment of Rb

•     Influencing policy to improve services for Rb patients
