Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
On the 9 June 2012 our team will be embarking on a 100 km trek within 24 hrs to raise funds for Blind Veterans UK (formerly St Dunstans).
Commencing from Richmond in London, the challenge will entail a walk over 62 miles covering the trail footpaths of Surrey and Sussex, prior to a momentus finish at the Blind Veterans UK centre in Ovingdean, Brighton.
Sounds simple? Last year 40% of the participants dropped out en route with approximately 30 completing this within the 24 hr target.
Blind Veterans UK aim to help as many blind and vision impaired ex-Servicemen and women as possible to lead rewarding and independent lives. Since 2000, they have welcomed not just those who lost their sight through warfare, but anyone who has ever served in the Armed Forces and has experienced serious loss of sight since.
