Story

So ... now, seems suddenly, I find myself in my 80th year!!

My name is Delia and having reached this milestone 'TTT' and I would really like to 'celebrate' our many blessings and walk 100 miles locally to support Devon In Sight.

Devon in Sight offers a range of holistic services for anyone affected by sight loss across Devon. They provide support to people who are blind or partially sighted, their families, friends and carers.

Their Sight Loss Services focus on four key areas, Information, Advice and Guidance, Independent Living, Health and Wellbeing, and Influencing Change (Making the world a better place for people with sight loss).

Devon in Sight receives no statutory funding so all these services are provided through charitable donations so please join me on this journey and donate to this essential cause :)

To let you know who the 'We' might be, let me introduce you to my little companion who rides in the pouch on my backpack. He is a very well-travelled little bear particularly in Scotland and around this local (Devon) area. His main claim to fame however is when he accompanied a trio of cyclists who rode from London to Glasgow to attend COP 26 summit in Glasgow in November 2021.

I had read the book 'Cold Hands, Warm Heart' by Tess Burrows and was so amazed by her story of courage and adventurous determination that I contacted her. Since then we have kept in touch and I wondered if she would take my little companion with her to Glasgow on the back of her bike! What a story he would have to tell! I was delighted when she said she would take him and indeed it was she who named him TTT - Team Together Ted! Hence, I feel very honoured to have him as a little companion on my various fund-raising travels.

When we start walking in November we will keep you updated with progress with a 'diary' and a photo or two.
