Cyclist fundraises for cataracts

Former cataract sufferer Mark Greenwood announced participation in a 200-mile charity cycling challenge, to fundraise £2000 for global eye care charity CBM.

After undergoing cataract surgery, Greenwood has been motivated to help others in other countries with less access to high levels of eye care.

The challenge will start on the south coast near Portsmouth and continue to the north coast of Norfolk in twenty-four hours.

Sharon Ross, SpaMedica hospital manager in Norwich, said: ‘We’re delighted to hear that Mark had such a great experience during his treatment – and even more so when we learned that it inspired him to support communities abroad in accessing this life-changing surgery.
