Tandem Skydive · 4 February 2013

Retina UK is the only UK charity dedicated solely to working for people affected by inherited sight loss. We fund medical research to accelerate the search for treatments for the future, and provide information and support to help people lead better lives today.

Story

Less than a week till the skydive, I'm not sure if I should be scared or excited!

For my sixteenth birthday present, I have decided - rather unconventionally - to challenge myself to partake in a tandem skydive in aid of RP Fighting Blindness- the link to the website is shown below so that you can see the work that they do before donating; http://www.rpfightingblindness.org.uk/home.php?home=yes

A fellow pupil and friend, Justin Hollingsworth, suffers from this condition. My school, Arnold Lodge, has paired with this charity for the year. The money raised will help fund research into finding a cure for this conditon and additionally provides support for those living with RP.

Note that the cost of the jump is not being paid for by the donations or by the charity.

Please donate all that you can, thank you.
