Story

Hello,

Welcome to our Just Giving page.....Nickie and I are climbing the largest free standing mountain in the world in aid of Fight for Sight we are self funding this trip which means all money you donate will go directly to Fight for Sight.

Fight For Sight are a charity that is close to all of our hearts. My beautiful Son (and Nickie's Grandson) Jackson was born blind. He has a genetic condition called Leber's Congenital Amaurosis (LCA for short). At the moment there's no cure for LCA but the specialists at Moorfields in London have told us that, with the research that charities like Fight For Sight are helping to fund, they are confident that in Jackson's lifetime they will be able to do something to help Jackson see. 

Over the years as a family we have worked hard to raise money for Fight For Sight - but this is a huge personal challenge for both Nickie and myself. We would be eternally grateful for anything you can afford to give to help us reach our goal.

Thanks!

Kevin and Nickie
