Story

Join us in celebrating a remarkable milestone! On January 5th, 2024, Jack Burton will turn 100 years old. Jack proudly served in the RAF during World War II as a navigator, flying Liberators and B-25 Mitchells from 1942 to 1946. He has also supported Tottenham Hotspur all his life- attending his first Spurs game in 1933. After retiring from his career in furniture, Jack faced a new challenge when he became severely sight impaired and is now registered blind. But with the help of Blind Veterans UK, he was helped by their 'Can Do' attitude that has been invaluable in his acceptance of his blindness.

Now, as Jack approaches his centennial birthday and rather than receiving presents, he and his wife Ann have decided to give back to Blind Veterans UK by raising funds for this incredible organization. Their goal is to raise £1,000 to support the vital work that Blind Veterans UK does every day.

We invite you to join us in honouring Jack's legacy of service and supporting this worthy cause. Your donation will make a real difference in the lives of blind veterans across the UK.
