Mum’s uphill struggle for funds for sons with degenerative blindness disease

A mother, whose two sons were diagnosed with a degenerative blindness disease, is set to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in a bid to raise money for charity.

Sharon Moran is on a mission to raise €10,000 for the National Council for the Blind Ireland (NCBI).

Her sons Adam, aged 12, and Nathan, 10, were diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), a slow degenerative disease with no known cure. “It’s literally like it’s a little black hole coming in and closing in until they become blind.”
