Story

Why walk 500 miles?

That's roughly the distance you'd cover if you walked from one UK nystagmus research centre to all the others.

Starting at University Hospital, Plymouth, calling at The University of Southampton, Cardiff University, Moorfields, London, The University of Leicester, you'd eventually arrive at the University of Sheffield some 565 miles later. But you only need to walk 10 miles.

What would £5,000 buy?

- diagnostic equipment for use in a research or clinical setting

- an academic post to focus on an aspect of nystagmus

- a brand new in person nystagmus research trial

Please help us get more nystagmus research underway. Thank you!
