My story

 

Katie's cousin’s son, Jackson, was born last year and diagnosed with a rare genetic eye condition called Leber's congenital amaurosis (LCA) which effectively means hes blind.  As some of you may know Steve has been blind in one eye since birth so both Katie and Steve are extra motivated to give Jackson his sight using research, technologies and innovations that were not available to Steve 41 years ago!

We are raising money for research into Jackson's condition and hope to help give him the gift of sight in the not too distant future by Treking the Great Wall of China from 10th -18th October 2009 leaving this Saturday!  Our trek takes us along sections of the Great Wall, one of the world's most fascinating and important archeological finds and one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.

We only need to raise another £216.01 to reach our target so we hope you will find it within your hearts to sponsor us for this worthy cause.  Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy, totally secure and the most efficient way to sponsor us: Fight for Sight 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.

Thankyou for visiting our fundraising page.

Good luck Katie, enjoy it while you are there it's an amazing place. I'm sure when Jackson is older he'll be really proud of you. All the best x Donation by Antonietta Brienza 12/10/09
