Fundraising for Macular Society
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Why am I running the London Marathon for the Macular Society?
My Mum has Macular Degeneration and I want to do something amazing to support the Macular Society and therefore my Mum and others who may use their service. I am also hosting an online Music Event and hopefully a local one post lockdown.
Every day, around 300 people are diagnosed with macular disease.
It’s the biggest cause of sight loss in the UK.
Macular disease is cruel and isolating. It steals your sight, your independence, and your ability to do the things you love.
It can affect people of any age — even children — but not enough is known about why, and there is still no cure.
There is only one way to Beat Macular Disease for good. We must fund much more research now, until we find a cure, or find treatments that stop it in its tracks.
Together we can fund the research that will find the cure. Together we can make sure the next generation won’t have their sight, confidence, and love of life stolen from them by macular disease.
