Virgin Money London Marathon 2019 · 28 April 2019

Sightsavers' vision is of a world where no one is blind from avoidable causes and where visually impaired people participate equally in society.

Story

SIGHTSAVERS:

We work to eliminate avoidable blindness and promote the rights of people with disabilities.

There are many BIG charities out there and they all need you help including the smaller charities so for me its always best to spread the love.  I'm starting here at SightSavers.

Its incredible because the work in 30 different countries in some of the poorest parts of the world, imagine being a child in poor country with no one to turn to!  This is where we all come in, anything will help this charities to help people from all walks of life!

Below is an extract from sightsavers website:

Our work focuses on low and middle income countries in Africa and Asia.

In 2017 we carried out more than 14 million eye examinations across the countries where we work, and distributed more than 157 million treatments to prevent and treat debilitating diseases.

Our first programmes in the 1950s started in Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Malawi, Zimbabwe and Nigeria, with several other African countries following in the next two decades. In the 1960s and 70s we also expanded into Asia with our first projects in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and continued to extend our work across Africa. Most recently, we started work in Yemen in 2018, distributing treatments for neglected tropical diseases.

Our work in Sri Lanka came to an end in 2016, marking an exciting milestone: it’s the first time we’ve been able to finish our work in a country, satisfied that the eye care services we’ve set up can continue without us

Please, please help me in getting to my target!  I have a lot of difficult training coming up in the cold winter night haha so if you can help then please donate as little or as much as you can.
