My story

7th May - UPDATE

Well, we're nearly ready and the training is going well...  A HUGE THANK YOU to all who have already donated!  Don't forget, we are funding all the expenses ourselves so every penny you donate goes straight to the Eye Project. 

Watch out for more photos...

 ********************************************************************

This May, instead of lying on a beach like a normal person, I shall be in the high Andes trekking the centuries-old Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.  This is a four-day, high altitude trek over fairly rough terrain at heights of up to 13000 feet.  Worse still, at night we will be CAMPING!!  Yes, I shall be ignoring the habits of a lifetime and sleeping in a tent!!

 

 

 

So why is your comfort-loving friend putting herself through this terrible ordeal?  Well, I'm hoping to raise £1000 (or more!) for the Guildford Rotary Eye Project. www.guildfordrotaryeyeproject.org.uk.

There are 40 million avoidably blind men, women and children worldwide who cannot afford to have their sight restored.  The Eye Project provides training for eye surgeons, equipment, mobile eye screening camps, and facilities for the treatment of cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment and diabetic retinopathy.

A DONATION OF JUST £5 CAN ENABLE THE BLIND TO SEE AGAIN!

If we raise £500, you will have given 100 people their sight!!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

THANK YOU!!
