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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I am 49, and a former Corporal in the Army. I suddenly lost my sight within 3 hours in January 2011 and was later diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Undeterred by my illness and supported by Blind Veterans UK, I was able to overcome the problems that arose from my sight loss and return back to work in 2012.  I am taking up this charity event of a tandem skydive to raise funds and awareness for Blind Veterans UK, so that they can continue the amazing work in helping other blind and visually impaired ex-Service men and women to overcome the challenges of Life beyond Sight Loss.

So please dig deep and support my efforts in supporting Blind Veterans UK, who are a great charity that rely solely on fundraising events and charitable donations.

You can also donate to my fundraising page using JustTextGiving. Just text BVMA66 to 70070 followed by the amount you wish to donate. eg to sponsor me £5, text BVMA66 £5 to 70070.
