I wrote a post a few weeks ago about a guy running the Leeds marathon to raise money for our charity PMRGCAuk, after his wife's good friend tragically and suddenly lost her sight to GCA.

Many of you generously donated then but the post has got a bit lost as many new threads have been posted since and it just needs that extra little bit of a push now to get him over the line ... or at least to to the starting line where the work begins

Done! I can't imagine how traumatic suddenly losing your sight to GCA must be. All the very best to James for the Marathon.
