Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I know times are hard and I'm only looking for small donations from my friends and family.</p> <p>I'm walking the West Highland Way (95 miles) over 5 days starting on 4th May 2012. With me will be my sister Pauline, my sister-in-law Maria and my best friend Louise.</p> <p>The charity I'm supporting provides routine and essential eye care to people from third world countries. Most of the operations are routine, however, without them, people would go blind.</p> <p>My daughter Alicia has had serious eye problems since birth, however, thanks to the fantastic treatment available in the UK, her sight has been saved and she is leading a full and active life. Children with the same condition in third world countries would not be so lucky and would go blind.</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 - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So if you have a spare quid or two, please help me raise some funds for my charity.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Lynn x.x.x.x.x.</p>
