In September, I will be dusting off my trainers to run the Great North Run for CUREUsher.

CUREUsher raises funds for research into a cure for Usher Syndrome – the leading cause of genetically inherited hearing and sight loss – and raises awareness of the condition affecting over 400,000 people worldwide.

I chair the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Usher Syndrome and work with brilliant people affected by or with experience of the condition. Together we’re raising awareness, campaigning for more research and working for a cure.

Any support you can give would be amazing. Visit my JustGiving page here.
