Nishani took on Everest in the Alps
Nishani Amerasinghe is a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon and Glaucoma Specialist at University Hospital Southampton. By her own admission, she is not the sportiest of people. “The most energetic thing I’ve ever done for charity is cutting off my hair,” she said. Nishani climbed the height of Mount Everest on skis over four days, burning 10,000 calories a day – the equivalent of running three back-to-back marathons!
“It was heart breaking to meet patients whose sight loss could have been prevented had they presented for diagnosis earlier.
“I was on a mission to increase glaucoma awareness, and I wanted to use this challenge to support it.”
“My own father had glaucoma, so I personally knew the effect the condition had on families. Imagine being unable to drive a car, enjoy your hobbies or see your own family.”
Chloe’s Lake Baikal, Russia walking challenge
Chloe was diagnosed with glaucoma when she was 12. Her nan also has the disease. Thank you, Chloe, for walking 100 miles across lake Baikal in Russia and raising £1,275.29.
Me and my dad walked across frozen lake Baikal. We camped on the ice and used sledges to carry our equipment. Being diagnosed at such a young age was a huge shock, not only for myself but also my family. Not many people realise that children can also suffer from this condition and it is not as rare as people may think. Having visited the children’s glaucoma hospital in London on numerous occasions, I was surprised to see the wide age range of children attending the clinic. Due to the wonderful care of my consultant my condition is stable, and I have the opportunity to travel the world and see amazing things, but I am sure this is not the case for many. Therefore, I wanted to raise as much money as possible for this charity so the wonderful work they do can continue and maybe one day there will be a cure
Keith & David’s 24 hour bike ride from London to Paris
Well done and thank you to Keith Barton and David Celaschi who raised £25,751. They made it! Here’s what Keith had to say at the end of their epic challenge.
We did it! 196 miles with around 120 others through beautiful country lanes (and frightening Parisian traffic). Fish and chips, bananas, peanuts, a lot of dried fruit and some good strong tea in Buchy. I think we put on a couple of kgs each. I also never realised the Eurostar seats were so hard.
