THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US

Helen Kalmar is raising money for RNIB - Royal National Institute of Blind People
“RNIB ABSEIL ”

on 3 August 2005

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Every day 250 people in the UK start losing their sight. With your help, we can be there when people need us most, support independent living, create an inclusive society and prevent avoidable sight loss. Every pound you raise will help create a future where sight loss is no longer a barrier.

Story

The RNIB (Royal National Institute for the Blind) approached the AOP (Association of Optometrists) to do a sponsored abseil down Centre Point to raise money on their behalf. As employees of the AOP both Jennie and I decided to meet the challenge.

We will need to raise £500 and wondered whether you would help us raise the money. You can donate as much or as little as you like as it all helps to raise our target so please give up your Saturday and watch us abseil down Centre Point at 1:30pm.

We hope to rely on you all if not for us perhaps for UK's leading charity which supports anyone with a sight problem.

Helen says.

"I know what it is like to lose your sight as I lost mine in 1987 when skinheads decided to throw ammonia at my eyes, luckily for me I regained my sight after 6 weeks so please give what you can for a worthwhile cause". PLEASE HELP US FUNDRAISE. IF YOU KNOW OF ANYBODY THAT WOULD BE INTERESTED TO SPONSOR US ALL DONATIONS WELCOME EITHER BY DONATING THROUGH THIS SITE OR BY US DELIVERING THE FORM TO YOU.
