Help Nadia raise money

For participating in Run For Retina Research

My Story…

I suffer from Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) which is an eye disease that is slowly restricting my peripheral vision. This private battle is one that I do not usually talk much about, but I feel is important to share. Although I may not go completely blind, severe vision loss is a definite reality. Even though it’s an extremely scary thought for myself and for my family, I know things can always be worse and it’s important for me to think of the positives. E.g., I never have to be the designated driver again. #BrightSide Every day is a constant struggle to live with low vision and is not always easy to ask others for help. But I am asking now. I do not share my story to make anyone sad, I think it is important to let you all know what I am fighting for and why I wanted this to be my very first half marathon making this experience even more special to me. Please support me by helping me raise funds for Retina Research and help to put an end Eye Diseases. With love and gratitude, Nadia
