Story

URGENT APPEAL – GETTING THROUGH IT TOGETHER

The coronavirus pandemic is creating unique challenges for people living with sight loss and our pioneering research. Lockdown risks bringing our research to a standstill, just as we were getting close to discovering new treatments. We need your help now.

We need an additional £15,000 a week if we are to get our researchers back to the lab and achieve our aim of developing a new treatment for the leading cause of blindness.

I am Chair of the Warwickshire Committee and our 26th Annual Golf Day at Stoneleigh Deer Park
Golf Club is postponed  This normally raises between £10,000-£20,000, therefore, to try and help, we have come up with a couple of ideas:-

The first being Golf Fore Sight, played on own choice of course.

Donate £10 on this page (one person can pay for group if preferred)

  • Golf to be played between Wednesday 1st
    – Saturday 1st August
     2020 (please confirm date nearer the time).

Our 2nd Fundraiser is Putt FORE Sight which non-golfers can join in too – all you need is a putter, 3 balls and a blindfold!

    lounge carpet
  • Place a £10 note at one end and stand
    2.6 metres away
  • Ask a family member or friend to set up
    video on phone
  • Have 3 golf balls close by, get set up
    then place blindfold on
  • Try to land your ball fully on the tenner to beat the challenge.
  • After first putt you can check how you
    got on then cover eyes again
  • After the 3 attempts if you are successful  WELL DONE!  Then please post the video for our Roll of Honour
  • If not successful then please say to the
    camera “I wasn’t successful so I would like to donate £……. to Fight for Sight and
    I nominate …………………………..”
  • Nominate as many people as you like and
    share your video

    charity please post on my Friends of Debbie Facebook page @debsforsight, Tweet photos/comments adding @Golfbirdie01 #PuttFORESight.  – more links to follow
