Like every year since 2016, we are participating in an event to raise awareness about Albinism.

What is Albinism ?

Albinism is a rare inherited life-long condition that occurs worldwide across all races and ethnic backgrounds. In the UK, it is thought that Albinism affects 1:17,000 although this is probably an underestimate. People with Albinism do not produce sufficient melanin (pigment) and this affects their eyes, skin and hair. One of the key impact of Albinism is extremely poor vision (partially sighted) and impact of sunlight. There is no known way to help people with Albinism produce more melanin at present, research studies are underway.

What we are doing on 10th June for Albinism Awareness Day

We are following England’s greatest river as it heads East through the heart of the Capital. It’s 25 km – from Putney Bridge to beyond the mighty Tower Bridge – and each of the historic 16 crossings has a story to tell.
