When our daughter Shelly was born with Microphthalmia in one eye and a coloboma in the other, our world changed.

Moorfields stepped in when we needed them most.

The kindness and skill of Mr Abou-Rayyah, Narinder from Prosthetics and the entire team carried us through moments we never imagined facing. Their care has shaped Shelly’s journey—and ours.

Running the 2026 London Marathon for Moorfields is more than a challenge. It’s a thank you.

But our story is only one of thousands.

Every six minutes, someone in the UK starts to lose their sight.

Over 2 million people are already affected—and that number is rising fast.

Moorfields is fighting back: funding innovation, supporting incredible staff and providing world-class care to people facing sight loss across the country.

If you’re able to give, your donation will go directly towards changing lives.

From our family—and for families like ours—thank you.
