This July, Ben Ramus will lead a group of twelve adventurers as they take on the renowned National Three Peaks Challenge, in aid of national sight loss charity, Retina UK. Ben has decided to take on the epic challenge in recognition of two of his uncles’ sight loss journey, as they live with the rare inherited sight loss condition, retinitis pigmentosa.

Researchers who received funding from Retina UK have carried out experimental gene therapy that is reported to have led to ‘life changing improvements’ to sight for four children with inherited sight loss.

Imagine, if you can, evading capture from an elite team of hunters for 21 days when you’re blind! Ste and his co-fugitive, Chris, did just that in the new series of Hunted (Channel 4) which starts on Sunday 12 October.
