A FATHER of two from Poole who is registered blind is running 250km in a bid to fund vital research into the genetic condition that is robbing him of his sight.
Dean Argent, aged 35, will be hoping to complete the challenge, in aid of eye research charity Fight for Sight, by the end of January
He was diagnosed with the rare genetic eye condition choroideremia in 2012, and has been told he'd likely be blind within a few years.
Dean said: “My two daughters are carriers of the faulty choroideremia gene so I hope that by the time they have children and sons of their own, there will be a treatment available.”
