My Story

The last couple of years I have been a keen runner so the London Marathon is something I've wanted to achieve.

I have chosen to fundraise for MACS as I worked in the Optics industry for 10 years between the age of 16 and 26 and I was always passionate about helping those who were blind or partially sighted.

MACS is an small national charity that helps children and adults born without eyes or underdeveloped eyes receive continuous support.

Every year in the UK, an estimated 114 babies will be born with no eyes (Anophthalmia), small eyes (Microphthalmia), or a cleft in the eye (Coloboma). Many children will have additional needs or other health challenges. Receiving the diagnosis may be an isolating experience for parents; they may feel hopeless and alone. 

MACS now helps over 3,000 people from 1,000 families across the UK, supporting them at every stage of their journey by providing peer support, practical help and opportunities to take part in life-changing activity trips. 

I would love it all of my friends, family and colleagues could help me raise some money to put towards this amazing charity. 

Please donate and support if you can 🫶🏻
