Story

Today, I'll be mainly running for: FIGHT FOR SIGHT.

This charity is on the forefront of the fight against blindness, and is dedicated to funding research into treatment and (eventually) cures for the main causes of blindness, such as RP (Retinitis Pigmentosa) and Macular Degeneration.  The cause is very personal to me because someone close to me has RP. As you’ll see below, some recent breakthroughs in the research are giving real hope to people who have lost or are losing their sight - such as this:

...but it does all need funding.

Needless to say, don't forget to tick the gift aid box if you're a UK taxpayer - I’m sure Gordon can afford it.

Thanks hugely,

Tom
