Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I knew nothing about this charity until I met my partner Jackie and she told me about their tremendous work and their achievements 

I just had no idea just how many of our ex service personnel are blinded whilst putting their lives on the line. I naively assumed that there would be a just a few blinded in conflict and incorrectly assumed they would be properly and appropriately looked after by the state in recognition of their service and sacrifice 

Sadly that’s far from the truth and it’s left to Charities like this to pickup the pieces and provided support in all of its forms

In their own words this is what they do

We are Blind Veterans UK and we believe that no one who has served our country should battle blindness alone. 

 That's why we're here to help with lifelong practical and emotional support which we provide to Armed Forces and National Service veterans regardless of when they served or how they lost their sight.

 We help veterans recover their independence and discover a life beyond sight loss.

Who could fail to be moved by the 5 year old girl called Tempy who raised money for blind Veterans doing a mini triathlon and stared in a viral video?  So when I saw this sponsored walk I decided it was time to do my bit to help  https://youtu.be/Zzpohzk5XX0

Anything you can give will be gratefully recieved and used to support Blind Veterans 

If anyone wants to join me on the walk I’ll send you a link for the application form 

Many thanks
