Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Harry and I are heading to the French Alpes for a cycling adventure & challenge. We are looking to raise money to support the Moorfields Eye Hospital.

As many of you know I was diagnosed with Ocular Melanoma in 2016. More recently I have had a diagnosis of Macular Degeneration which has been caused by the side effects of my radiotherapy and now receive monthly injections to my eye to stabilise my central vision in my cancer eye (as much as we can). During the investigations into my macular degeneration a birth defect was identified in my eyes where I didn’t properly grow a full retina in either eye before I was born (which explains why I am rubbish at ball games etc).

In short I have received world leading support and I’d like to give something back and support Moorfields in their ongoing research and investigations into rare eye conditions such as Ocular Melanoma, and also not so rare conditions like macular degeneration whereby folks’ eyesight is maintained and often improved.

Harry and I would appreciate your support in our adventure. Here is our itinerary:
