Story

After a classic case of writer's block it's time to share with you all why I am taking on the South Coast Ultra Challenge this weekend!

Pakistan faces many challenges, and I agree it can feel overwhelming sometimes. But, the Graham Layton Trust is testament to how thousands of small acts of charity can improve millions of lives.

Today, more than 26 million people are blind or visually impaired and many know they will never be able to save enough money to pay for treatment for their deteriorating eyesight. At GLT, we see the huge benefits of making eyecare free and accessible to the poor and underprivileged in Pakistan. That small act of support now can save families from poverty because they can continue to work and sustain themselves.

That’s why this year I am joining Team GLT on their 25km trek along the South Coast to raise funds for free state-of-the-art eye care in Pakistan. Any amount you are able to give will help me reach this year's goal of raising enough to provide sight restoring surgery for 100 people.

This is just a small snipet of the work GLT do, if you'd like to know more I'd be happy to talk to you about why I believe they truly make a meaningful impact to both individual lives, families, and society as a whole.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page :)
