We'll give you hot meals, lots of snacks and eight rest stops to recharge along the way. We'll even be there for medical support and lots of encouragement!

Together we can raise the funds needed to ensure that noone who serves our country has to battle blindness alone.
So what do we spend your hard earned funds on?
We provide severely vision-impaired ex-Service men and women with the rehabilitation, training and support they need to regain their independence and discover a life beyond sight loss.
This ranges from helping them relearn vital skills to providing them with the tools they need to be independent inside and outside their homes. We give opportunities to get working-age veterans back to a career, or hobby-based art and craft, historical or other activity skills to our retired veterans. We also provide long-term nursing, residential and respite care.
In addition to this lifelong support for 4,700 blind veterans plus their families, we'd like to help more of our heroes!
There's as many as 55,000 other blind veterans across the UK eligible for our support.
