Member Charity Challenge – James Miller

Posted on by Mark Alger
Melina Joy Optometrist, James Miller, completed the London Marathon at the weekend. He finished with a very impressive time of 5 hours.

He ran in aid of Wealden Talking News & Magazines, who are a Heathfield based Charity, providing vital audio news and information to visually impaired people across East Sussex.

James said “As an Optician, I see first-hand how vision loss impacts daily life. It’s so important for people with sight loss to remain connected to their local Community. Wealden Talking News ensure that everyone has access to local news, stories and updates…something that many of us take for granted”

Well done James…such a fantastic achievement
