My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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 - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Staff in the Western Health and Social Care Trust (N.Ireland) have started a fund-raising campaign to help set up much-needed eye-care services for children in an eye hospital in Kano, Nigeria. In Nigeria childhood blindness is common and over half of these children will die young as a result. Blindness in children is largely preventable, and there is a desperate need for an eyecare programme for children in this area. We are taking part in a wider VISION 2020 Links Programme which will be run in conjuction with CBM and the International Centre for Eye Health. To find out more about how the money will be spent please visit our blog/website at www.vision2020kano.org.

The first major fund-raising event will be a marathon cycle from Mizen Head to Malin head (one end of Ireland to the other). Three intrepid members of staff - Rosie Brennan, Chris Devlin and Patrick McGirr - have volunteered! Others may volunteer to join in a shorter cycle on the last day.
