Story

We’ve taken on this challenge as a family to walk 250 miles each in 2 months to raise funds for RNIB.

As many of you know, mammy was diagnosed with a retinal vein occlusion in October 2018. Shortly afterwards she was told that she had glaucoma in the other eye.

As her sight has been severely impacted we have relied on support from charities like this to make life a little easier for mammy to carry out simple tasks.

We feel it is only right to give a little back!

Every day 250 people are told the life-changing news that they're losing their sight. We want to ensure no one faces this diagnosis alone, and that people with sight loss can live independently in a world with no barriers in the way of the life they want to lead.Our Sight Loss Advisors can provide emotional and practical support to someone who is coming to terms with their sight loss. Your fundraising could help us ensure no call to the RNIB Helpline goes unanswered, and that no one feels alone during this difficult time.
