My story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On the 24th December 2011 an ever so slightly overweight gradute of the 1946 'baby boomer year' will risk life and limb to raise research funds for glaucoma. I was inspired by the 1964 GB Olympic Gold medal two man bob team and it has taken me 47 years to reach this goal. So, a slightly manic, increasingly nervous, 65 year old 'Saga Lout' will, hopefully, launch himself down the bob run at St Moritz on Christmas Eve and a little financial commitment towards research might just be the stimulus I need to take those last few steps. Thanks in anticipation.
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.
