My Story

For almost 50 years, Retina UK has been supporting people affected by inherited sight loss and we invest in medical research to help make their challenges a thing of the past.

I’m walking 5k every day in May for Retina UK — and here’s why.

I’ve recently been diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, an inherited condition that’s slowly taking away my vision. I’ve already lost most of my night vision and my peripheral vision is fading too. Right now, there’s no cure.

That’s why I’m taking on this challenge — to raise awareness, and to raise money for research that could one day change lives, including mine.
