Running Retina Researchers!
7033
Support Retina Research and Help Us Make a Difference
We are a team of researchers in the Ocular Cell and Gene Therapy Group led by Prof Robin Ali and Prof Rachael Pearson at King's College London, dedicated to advancing the understanding of retinal diseases. Our work is focused on finding solutions that can transform the lives of those affected by conditions like macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. But we need your help to continue pushing the boundaries of science and making life-changing discoveries.
That’s why we’re running a 10K! It’s not just about the challenge; it’s about raising funds and awareness for the incredible work being done by Retina UK, Macular Society, and Fight for Sight—three organizations that play a vital role in funding crucial research like ours. Their support helps us and researchers like us to continue our studies and bring us closer to groundbreaking treatments for retinal diseases.
