The Carrington West Highways team are running the Great South Run on October 15th 2023 to raise funds for the LHON Society.

The below is from Luke on why we're running for our chosen charity this year...

Back in September 2018 my mother unexpectedly lost her vision after a suspected stroke.

After a stint in hospital and numerous tests it transpired that she actually had Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON). This genetic mutation is a rare disorder that typically leads to visual loss.

The LHON Society has been a great source of support for my mother and other LHON sufferers, as well as their families. They also fund research into understanding and reversing sight loss in LHON affected patients.

We are hoping to raise £1,000 for this incredible charity and any donations would be hugely appreciated! Together, we can make a difference and help those affected by this rare disorder.
