In memory of Leah Humphreys
We are a network of families working together, supporting each other and raising money for vital research into CRB1 gene-related eye conditions which affect our family members.

Story

On February 20th in less than 24 hours Leah was struck down by an aggressive acute form of leukemia which caused a catastrophic brain haemorrhage that took her life and that of her unborn baby. Leah was passionate about supporting her friend, Caroline, in raising money for Minnie’s Miracle to support Fight for Sight. Their aim is to find a cure for Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis which is a sight condition that Caroline’s daughter Minnie has. 

Leah was a loving, kind, caring and generous person and we know she will be honoured if you could donate to this cause in her memory.

With love and thanks from all of Leah’s family xxx
