Save the Sight of Generations

The Knights, close friends of the Findlay and
Cassidy families, have embarked on an ambitious and imaginative fundraising project to accelerate the race towards a cure for Retinitis Pigmentosa and many
other eye conditions.  Steve Knight and his family are restoring a huge retro Guinness advert on the gable end of the house they live in and asking people for sponsorship of their project for
 RP Fighting Blindness (UK).

Friends of our family have been affected by this
progressive condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa causing  tunnel vision, night blindness and eventually severe vision loss.  It is passed down to every generation and our close friends have be devastated to find found out in recent years that it can mutate into other severe eye conditions. 

They and other RP sufferers try to get on with their lives,
holding down jobs, encouraging their children who are affected to make the most of their talents and, in everyday situations, relying on the support of
empathetic friends and family members. 


Several years ago we helped our friends and their family 
raise over £22,000, which funded a researcher into a cure for the condition.  RP Fighting Blindness (UK) has raised huge sums of money towards a spectrum of research projects and now old and young sufferers with severe sight loss are involved in clinical trials.  These
trials will help many eye conditions as well as RP.

Please help the Knight family achieve their goal of raising as much as possible for the charity by donating on this website or in the collection tins in local shops
You can follow the progress of the project on Stephen Knight's Facebook Page.
