Tony is running London Marathon for @macularsociety.org in memory of his Grandad Joe who suffered from age related macular degeneration. While he got to spend time with his great grandson he never really saw his face.

Quote is Ffion-Elin is joining #TeamMacular at TCS London Marathon this weekend because of the profound impact Macular Society had on her Taid’s life. As a retired librarian, reading had always been an essential part of his life. The inability to read as much as he once did brought him great sadness

It’s time to introduce our amazing @macularsociety.org #TeamMacular runners taking on 2025 @londonmarathon.bsky.social this weekend to #BeatMacularDisease.

First up it’s Becky who’s been inspired to run by her brother.

Following a routine eye test, my brother Richard was diagnosed with B.E.S.T

Good luck message to the team Nicola in a running vest with the quote “My grandmother suffers greatly from impaired vision as a result of macular degeneration. There have been little to no treatment options available to her, and over the years I have seen first hand how devastating the disease can be." Georgia in a charity T-shirt with a quote from her poem Running to beat macular. Watching you lose your sight, It's hard, it's cruel, you're strong, let's fight... I am running to raise money for Macular, Any support and help will be spectacular. Tony in a charity running vest "I'm running the London Landmarks Half Marathon as part of my training for the London Marathon at the end of April. I'm running' I'm combining sponsorship efforts for the two in the hope of raising £3,000 for the Macular Society in memory of my Grandad, who suffered from Macular Disease and would have turned 90 on the day of the London Marathon."

Every day 300 people are diagnosed with #MacularDisease, the biggest cause of sight loss in the UK. It can affect people of any age, even children. It’s cruel and isolating.

Join @macularsociety.org #TeamMacular in 2025 and together we can fund research that will find a cure
Graphic with fireworks and hello 2025, #TeamMacular let’s go…

It was too chilly for running or walking so Big Yellow Ted headed off to the pool! Take a dip with @macularsociety.org to Beat Macular Disease!

Register your interest for a place at Swim Serpentine, or set your own swimming challenge in 2025!

With 300 people a day diagnosed with macular disease, Big Yellow Ted knew how important it was to fundraise all year round so @macularsociety.org can offer the best support & expert advice to people affected by sight loss

In 2025 he would set up a birthday fundraiser & ask for donations instead!

Seasons eatings! Big Yellow Ted loved meeting up with family & friends to share in the joy of cooking & eating together. So he thought he’d host a Dining a Difference in 2025! He would ask everyone to bring a plate of their favourite food & make a donation to @macularsociety.org

In 2025 why not join forces and fundraise for @macularsociety.org with a little “elf” from your friends!

Whether you plan to take on a local sporting event, climb a mountain (or two), hold an office bake sale or organise a wear yellow day, Big Yellow Ted knows that challenges are better together!

As the days started to draw in, Big Yellow Ted decided it was time to get crafty for a good cause, and make it for macular! This year he’d be rustling up some costumes for the local elves!

We’d love to hear about all the ways you’re fundraising for @macularsociety.org to Beat Macular Disease!

2024 it’s a wrap! But with every chip, swing & putt Big Yellow Ted knew the local golf club could be funding ground-breaking research & supporting people with macular disease.
