LSP Renewables' have been taking on the "5k a Day in May" initiative in support of RETINAUK, a charity dedicated to fighting sight loss and supporting those affected by retinal diseases. As LSP Renewables reaches the halfway point, having covered over 500km as a team, we have been enjoying getting out together during our lunch breaks and getting our steps in!
Our chosen charity RetinaUK, is very close to all our hearts. they do amazing work for everyone affected by Inherited retinal dystrophies, which include retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and Stargardt disease, these are the most common cause of blindness in children and working-age people in the UK. Yet the conditions are rare, with only 25,000 people affected in the UK. More than 300 genes have been linked to inherited sight loss conditions and many more are yet to be identified. Retina UK is the only UK charity dedicated to supporting people living with inherited sight loss and funding pioneering medical research into potential treatments.
