On October 2nd 2022 I will be taking part in the London Marathon, this is my first marathon and the furthest I will have ever run. I will be running the 26.2 miles in aid of Glaucoma UK. 

Glaucoma UK is a charity very very close to mine and my families hearts. My Aunty Em has battled Congenital Glaucoma all of her life, losing her right eye to it in her 20s. Since then she has had many surgical procedures in her remaining left eye. Thanks to the amazing surgeons and research that goes into glaucoma they continue to fight for the sight in her  remaining eye! My Aunty Em is one of the strongest and most positive people I know, despite all that has been thrown her way, so I am running for her and the thousands of people who suffer from Glaucoma.

Glaucoma is one of the most complex eye diseases and there currently is no cure. Glaucoma UK work tirelessly to support UK researchers to shed light on early diagnosis, care and treatment that will help everyone like my Aunty Em who is living with glaucoma.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated by Glaucoma UK and by myself and my family ❤️

Thank you for reading
