Vikki and Tom – our first abseilers

Vikki and her husband, Tom, were the very first to sign up to abseil down from the 262 feet high viewing platform at the ArcelorMittal Orbit at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Vikki’s family have been members and supporters of the Nystagmus Network for many years. Parents, Peter and Lynne, even organised an entire Open Day one year.

Every penny the couple raise will go directly into nystagmus research at Moorfields Eye Hospital and University College, London.

You can sponsor Vikki and Tom here.

Twins appeal!

Here at the Nystagmus Network we often hear from people who are twins or parents of twins. Sometimes both twins have nystagmus, but sometimes only one of them does. This got us wondering. When twins are identical, do both twins have nystagmus? If not, why not?

Nathan and Joshua are identical twins, seen here playing together on the beach. They both have nystagmus, but the prescriptions for their glasses are different.

Are you an identical twin or the parent of identical twins? Do both twins have nystagmus? Please let us know. You can contact us here.
