250 people start to lose their sight every day in the UK, and in the month of September I'm going to try and run 250 km and raise money to end sight loss and blindness.

The more pedantic of you may point out that there are in fact 30 days in September so therefore I should be running 30 times 250km = 7,500km - well you lot can bugger off! 250km in a month is quite enough thank -you!

I'll be running the Great North Run on the 9th September and then taking part in Fight for Sight's new virtual race, Journey to the Centre of the Eye, in National Eye Health Week at the end of the month.

Fight for Sight believe in a future everyone can see and fund cutting edge research into the prevention and treatment of sight loss. Currently over 2 million people in the UK are affected by sight loss and this figure is set to double by 2050.

All donations and support is most most welcome and appreciated! Thank you all,

Ed
