Imagine being told that you, or someone you love, is losing their sight. In that moment, two profound questions demand urgent answers: Can this be stopped? How will I live my life? We fund the brilliant minds and bright ideas, putting change in sight for everyone impacted by vision loss.

Story

3 years ago 27 friends, colleagues and I took to the air to skydive for my 50th birthday - we raised over £7,000 for Fight for Sight that year. As Fight for Sight launch the new campaign "look me in the eye", which I’m delighted to be part of.

In 2018 I want to try and get even more of you to join me and take to the skies to raise even more vital funds for eye research! Sign-up here!

Fight for Sight is only able to fund one in eight of the eye research projects they receive. So look me in the eye and say that’s anywhere near good enough. That sight isn't worth fighting for. Gene therapy and stem cells promise so much for the future, but if there’s not enough funding we’re never going to get an answer. 

The date is Saturday 5 May 2018, and I’d love for you to join us! Family, friends, and children are all welcome to come support and spectate 

Help us raise funds so that one day we can find cures to prevent further sight loss and treat eye conditions.
