If your loved one had macular disease, you’ll know what a devastating condition it can be. Giving in their memory can be a comforting way to celebrate their life and the happiness you shared. Every donation you make will help their memory live on, whilst funding world-class research to help beat macular disease. It will also fund the advice and support they so valued.  

A year after I was diagnosed I was really at the bottom of a hole; I just wasn’t interested in doing anything. I’ve got to be honest, I didn’t care whether I lived or died, I really didn’t. But things changed for me in May 2014, when I went to the Shropshire See Hear exhibition. I still don’t really know what prompted me to go, but at the exhibition, I met a gentleman called Bryan who ran the macular support group in Telford. He told me about the group and invited me along to the next meeting. I agreed to go, and I’m so glad I did.

Sharp-witted, intelligent, and a talented singer, Minnie found her many interests hard to maintain after developing AMD. Reading, golf and doing the crossword became too difficult. The most devastating thing was not being able to recognise her loved ones’ faces. “Macular disease really messed up her life,” her daughter Sheila told us.

Thank you for giving to the Macular Society in memory of someone special. There are many ways to donate, so please choose the one that suits you. If you need assistance, or can’t find what you’re looking for, please get in touch and we’ll be happy to help. 

Vision of Hope 

A Vision of Hope tribute is a unique and special place to celebrate the life of someone you love. Creating your page – with your chosen words and photos - can be comforting at a sad time. A tribute page is a wonderful way of reflecting on the happy times you shared, and inviting family and friends to join in with their own precious memories too.

For most families, in memory giving begins at their loved one’s funeral.
