Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For my 90th birthday I wanted to do a 90m abseil.   The nearest I could get was 100m down the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth on 16th July 2022.

I hope to raise (at least) £900 for the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital Charity, who work in less developed countries to reverse avoidable blindness - for example, childhood cataracts and in-growing eyelashes.  Google "Orbis" for more details of their operations (pun intended).

At the same time they teach local surgeons how to perform this magic, thus investing doubly in the future.

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.
