I'm running the London Marathon 2026 with Team Moorfields

Blanche Morrissey is raising money for Moorfields Eye Charity

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Taking on the TCS London Marathon 2026 to change lives for sight loss patients at Moorfields and around the world.

Story

I have been a patient at Moorfields for many years and I do not have the words to express how important the work and research they undertake is.

Moorfields Eye Charity fund research which expands our understanding and knowledge of eye disease. They help bring new treatments to patients, which is life changing. New innovations, equipment and ideas bring world class treatments to patients. Moorfields Eye Charity fund this.

As well as training Doctors and Specialists from all over world, Moorfields educate patients. The staff are able to answer questions, discuss conditions and disease and reassure patients about their Eye problems. Simply they are compassionate, understanding, caring.

Presently there are around 2 million people in UK who have impaired vision and the number is set to rise in the future.

Although a diagnosis of Sight Loss is devastating and living with Sight Loss is challenging, I have met the most fantastic people, learned so much and get amazing treatment and support.

I want to raise as much as I can for Moorfields Eye Charity. I hope that you will make a donation to my fund. Anything you can give, no amount is too small and every penny is so much appreciated and gratefully received and goes directly to benefit patients in UK and further afield.

Thank you for reading my story, I am grateful for your support.
