Story
During National Eye Health week (21st to 27th September 2020), we are holding the annual Valli Rally charity walk. This year, it will be a virtual sponsored walk and want to raise £7500 for our favourite charity Kirklees Visual Impairment Network (KVIN). The target is to walk a total of 2020 miles collectively and we need your help!
Please sign up and pledge how far you can walk to help us achieve this goal. You can do the walk in your local area, in your back garden or even on a treadmill in your living room, and you can do it any time during National Eye Health week!
Established in 2008, KVIN is a network of staff, volunteers and service users who help break down stereotypes of people with sight loss and encourage them to reach their full potential. They offer emotional support, guidance and friendship as well as providing peer support to help people with visual impairments learn to effectively use and make the most of technology such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home and various apps for phones and tablets.
As the charity is user-led, it is run by people with visual impairments and is a real lifeline for people who think they have to give up doing all the things they like due to sight loss.
At Valli Rally 2019, over 100 people joined us throughout the day and we raised £6,700 for KVIN so we’re looking forward to signing up more people to help raise even more money this year.
We’re asking as many people as possible to get involved. Whether you enter your whole family, join up individually, or want to enter a team from your workplace, we can guarantee you will have fun and remember, #EveryMileCounts.
Even if you can’t join us for the walk, you can simply donate on this page.
