Story

I was born with a  complex visual impairment. Thanks to our NHS this was diagnosed and treated. I have worn glasss since I was 4 years old and as a result I  have been able to live a full and active life.

I want to help people with visual imapirments  like mine in poorer countries who are not as fortunate as I was.

I am raising money for Vision Aid Overseas by walking a Million Steps this Summer

Founded in 1985, Vision Aid Overseas has been helping some of the worlds poorest people to see clearly for over 30 years.
Poor eye sight can have a devastating impact on lives  and livelihoods.

  • 1.2 billion people worldwide cant see properly simply because they need glasses 
  • 12 million children worldwide struggle to learn simply because they need glasses 
  • 75% of all visual impairment is preventable or curable

A donation of just £5 will pay for an eye test and glasses for a child, giving the gift of site and transforming their life.

Thank you for anything you are able to donate
