My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

You've heard the old joke about the blind pilot steering a plane according to the screams of his passengers.

This is no joke.

On Tuesday 5th May I will be taking the controls of a Britten-Norman Islander flying from Bembridge Airport, Isle of Wight.

Please sponsor me in my efforts to restore my sight and the sight of many others with this eye condition within our lifetime.

I will be flying the BN2A Islander, G-OBNL.  And thank Britten-Norman for giving me this opportunity to raise awareness and funds for RP Fighting Blindness.


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: RP Fighting Blindness gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
