Story

Thanks for taking the time to read my story....

My wife and I spent years trying for a baby and was just about to start our IVF when our little miracle was conceived. Fast forward 9 months and our beautiful little baby boy was born. After a couple of weeks we noticed his eyes randomly moved from side to side so we booked a appointment at the opticians where he was diagnosed with nystagmus.

So this charity really means a lot to my wife and I.

I am hoping to raise as much money as possible while running the royal parks half marathon.

My target is to raise £500

But if I raise £3000 I will run the half marathon wearing a 10kg weight vest.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you can find it in your heart to sponsor me

Many thanks Ian
