Story

We all take our sight for granted. Look at the world around you. Even the fact that you can read this is a luxury most of us take for granted. 

Many people in the world do not have access to a simple pair of glasses. Optometry Giving Sight provides local eye clinics to people living in poverty around the world so that they can get a sight test and a pair of glasses, and be able to see again. Please give as much or as little as you can.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

We made it in just under 24 hours. It rained constantly and we were mired by innumerable punctures along the way. Eventually made it to the edge of Paris in 23 hrs and 20 mins. Had to walk about 6 miles in Paris to the meeting point at the Eiffel Tower but an amazing experience nonetheless. Well done to my co riders and excellent support from the support team.

Pictures to follow on the return of the other riders. Don't forget to donate to our great cause
