Despite the ongoing pandemic, my sister has continued to receive sight saving treatment, including emergency shunt revision surgery in 2020 and immunosuppressant infusion treatments every five weeks as a day patient at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

Inspired by her bravery and by the professionalism of the staff involved with the charity, in 2021 I decided that I would take on a massive challenge and cycle 320km from Aberdeen to the Isle of Skye, raising over £5,000 for Fighting for Sight in the process.  Upon hearing this idea, Calumn didn’t need a second invitation. He was keen to share the pain and the experience to raise some much needed funds for the charity.

Not content with a coast to coast of Scotland, in June 2022 we are trying something a little bit tougher and attempting to cycle as far as we can in 24 hours.
