Optometry Giving Sight is a global fundraising initiative that specifically targets the prevention of blindness and impaired vision due to uncorrected refractive error – simply the need for an eye exam and a pair of glasses.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Judy was my sister. She was an optometrist who worked in the north west of Australia. She cared passionately about the work of the North West Eye Programme (NWEP)&nbsp;and after her untimely death a Memorial Scholarship Fund was set up in her name.</p> <p>The fund will allow optometry students to work as part of the NWEP and gain experience in the provision of eyecare to some of the most needy people in the country.</p> <p>Judy would be immensely proud and thrilled&nbsp;if she knew that, arising from her very sad and early death, optometry students would experience the joy and fulfilment from providing eye care to otherwise impoverished people.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate.</p> <p>Judy's family are all extremely grateful for any donations made.</p>
