Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

 

On March 18th / 19th four of us (Emma Palmer - year 1 teacher and her husband, Steve Palmer, Paul Higgins and Paul Minton, both parents) will be undertaking a 100 mile bike ride from the London Eye to the village of Eye in Suffolk - 'Eye to Eye'.  This fundraising event is certainly new to Emma who has never undertaken riding large distances before and knows that her legs are really going to feel the distance at the end!!

So what is the Eyeless trust?  Read the charity information on the left side of the page about this worthwhile charity.

The school have pledged to try and raise at least £15,000 for this charity over the year.  A teacher's nephew was born a year ago with anophthalmia and it made us realise in school how little financial support this charity receives, yet how important it is for the support of these famalies affected.

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 and support us on our ride as we aim to support the charity.

About the charity

The Eyeless Trust helps children born with anophthalmia (absence of eye/s), microphthalmia (small eye/s), or coloboma (part structure missing), and has 17 social workers who give counselling, support and advice. Grants may be given to assist with cost of hospital attendance, respite care, development of potential (i.e. piano, riding, swimming lessons, computers.)
