Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>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&nbsp;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,&nbsp;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.</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 please dig deep and donate now.</p>
