Right now, 90% of vision loss worldwide is avoidable, but millions are still living in darkness simply because they don’t have access to the care they need. At Orbis, we’re working to change that—by training local eye care teams, equipping hospitals, and delivering world-class treatment through projects like our Flying Eye Hospital, a unique teaching hospital on board an aircraft.
Your marathon will help fund this vital work—bringing light, independence, and opportunity to communities around the world.

Celia and Esther shared:
“It was adrenalin-charged bliss—if that makes any sense! We had perfect cool weather in the most beautiful surroundings, and the excitement of the event stayed with us thanks to the London Marathon app sending supportive audio messages every half-mile… all in the knowledge that we were supporting Orbis to help restore eyesight around the world.”
Whether you’re walking, jogging or running, solo or in a group, in your hometown or on holiday—you can be part of the London Marathon and support Orbis’s life-changing work.
