A woman who lost her sight after surgery says she 'appreciates life more' after rediscovering running.

A mum-of-two who went blind after having a brain tumour removed has spoken of how running has changed her life.

Specsavers, which her lawyer believes could have made an emergency hospital referral, said it was "sorry" to hear of her diagnosis but it could not comment further as there was an ongoing investigation. King’s College Hospital said it would be "happy to arrange a further appointment". She said she was told by doctors that it could come back over time, but it has not, and she has since complained to the hospital.

She started to take part in her local parkrun, with help from guides, after she was diagnosed as pre-diabetic in 2022.
