I’'m running the Great North Run 2025 for Macular Society, a charity very close to my heart. I’m running to raise awareness as well as funds for this awful condition.

Macular disease is the biggest cause of sight loss in the UK, with around 300 people diagnosed every day. It runs in my family, and I’m most likely going to be diagnosed when I’m older.

This condition steals your sight, your confidence, and your ability to do the things you love.

There is only one way to Beat Macular Disease for good. We must fund much more research now, until we find a cure or discover treatments that stop it in its tracks. The Macular Society is the only charity determined to beat the fear and isolation of macular disease with world-class research, as well as providing the best advice and support.

Medical research will lead us to the cure we need to beat macular disease for the next generation. I am asking for your support in this vital mission by donating to my fundraising page for #TeamMacular. Together, we can make a difference and reach my target of £300 by September 7th, 2025.
