Story

Hey guys,

As you know I’ll be running the London marathon this year in April, something I’ve wanted to like forever. I’ll be running the marathon for Orbis UK to raise awareness on the importance of eye care and make it available everywhere for everyone so no one has to experience the consequences of avoidable blindness.

Orbis UK is an affiliate of Orbis international, an international charity that provides vital eye care treatments and expert training in developing countries all over the world, creating long-term sustainable solutions to combat blindness.

The money raised could buy antibiotics for 60 children with eye infections, sight saving cataract kits, and an ophthalmoscope to diagnose eye conditions early.

Any little contribution will help on this fight to combat avoidable blindness in poor developing countries.
