To mark World Sight Day this year on 8 October, we have set a "117" challenge to raise awareness and funds for our Sight Loss Centre at 117 Hamlet Court Road.

The Southend in Sight team will be walking/running 117 miles between them from 1-8 October, finishing on World Sight Day.

Some of us walk to work or to volunteer at Southend in Sight, some of us walk our dogs and some of us enjoy an early morning run! Between us all we are aiming to clock up 117 miles in one week and raise vital funds for our wonderful charity.

Please sponsor us as we take on this challenge, or even take on the challenge yourself and donate to us.

Thank you.
