Stephanie Skydive For Fight For Sight
Event date: 16th July 2017
My story
Thank you for visiting my page, let me introduce myself, my name is Stephanie.
On 16 July 2017 I plan to do a charity tandem skydive in Cambridge which I have always wanted to do.
The charity I have chosen is Fight For Sight (almost two millions people in the U.K are living with sight loss). The reason why I chose this charity is because a member of the family was diagnosed with Keratoconus a few years ago.
Keratoconus is a condition that affects the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye). The cornea becomes thinner and more cone-shaped over time, instead of having a rounder curve. The change of shape causes blurred and distorted vision.
Some people out there who have this condition may have to go under corneal transplant surgery. This involves removing the damaged cornea and replacing it with a healthy one from a donor. Other types of surgery may also be possible.
I am nervous but excited for this challenge. I have never done anything like this before.
I would really appreciate if you could donate to this worthwhile cause, to help continue researching a cure/treatments for this disease.
Thank you for your support.
