We have completed various challenges, raising money in support of the St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital. A Twenty-Four Hour Running Relay around London in 2020. A remote FORTY-EIGHT HOUR Relay in 2021. In 2022 the team completed a THREE DAY RELAY across the country, from Ramsgate to Wells Cathedral, of which my part was a 47 mile cycle from Faversham to the Woolwich Barrier. Last year was the Monopoly Board Challenge around London and we will finish this year with another 48 Hour Virtual Relay.

According to JustGiving.com we have thus far raised a total of £43,973.62 to fund a surgical stall for sensitive eye operations and £12,000 for a portable auto-refractometer to scan the eyes of patients not able to sit in a chair in the hospitals or clinics. At time of updating the team has set itself a further target of £16,000 that will fund a piece of equipment called a steam auto clave

The 2024 Funding Targets have been set for our charity challenge team by St John Eye Hospital

Target one: £12,000 for an Autoreracto-Keratometer for the main Eye Hospital – an important scanner for measuring the degree of refractive error in the eye.

Target two: £25,000 would fund a Large Steam Autoclave for the Hebron Clinic – this sterilises medical equipment for eye surgeries there & other vital uses.

Last year 40% of the patients in Hebron were children. Please help us help them. If we can raise this total we can help vital surgery & continue the mission of Saving Sight and Changing Lives.
