Story

Please help me in raising £1,500 for this incredible charity. I have been given the opportunity to take part in the LONDON MARATHON and appreciate any support you can offer. I’m SO exited to be part of the 2024 marathon club!!!

Training is well underway with support from my wonderful friends who are also running on 21st April.

Please read below for more details on MACS.

This year, 114 families in the UK will be told their babies have no eyes, small eyes, or a cleft in the eye. Many of them will have additional needs or other health challenges. Some will be told there’s no hope that their child will ever see. They may feel hopeless and alone - but they are not alone and there is hope.

MACS is the UK's national charity for children born without eyes or with underdeveloped eyes. We help over 3000 people from 1000 families across the UK, supporting them at every stage of their journey by providing peer support, practical help and opportunities to take part in life-changing activity trips.
