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 1^st

Our 2^nd 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

  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

  camera “I wasn’t successful so I would like to donate £……. to Fight for Sight and
