Story

Hi there ☺ 

Thank you for taking the time to be here. 

My story is all written down as a blog if you would care to read it.

(it's a bit ranty in places 😬... Sometimes funny, but gives an honest view from my perspective from diagnosis to present day)

I found out I had Macular Dystrophy nearly 7 years ago now. This is a genetic eye condition that progressively affects the central vision. 

The Macular Society do fantastic work to raise money for treatment or a cure for Macular diseases. For my condition we haven't had a breakthrough... yet. 

Please help me to raise funds for them so they can continue to try to find treatment or a cure for Macular Dystrophy. So I could possibly stay the way I am now and to help others like me too. 

I will undertake their Step Around the World Challenge. Albeit, out in the open air. Not virtually.

I will walk/hike and update my challenge with videos and photos. Any weird and wonderful things I see on my travels. Will post alot. So get ready! 

Hopefully will do this on Easter weekend at the Lake District. 

So... I will be going up massive hills... With poor eyesight. What could possibly go wrong! 

I'm hoping to walk 15 miles around gorgeous countryside within 2 days. I'm by no means a professional hiker, so this amount will be a challenge for me. I've found something in this recently that lifts your soul and helps your mental heath. Nature, fresh air, fitter, stronger with a sense of accomplishment. 

I will upload my plan and where I'm going soon. 

Any amount however small would be really appreciated.  

If you could share this page, that would be awesome. 

✌️
