Mark Stride's Seeing is Believing

9 October 2009

About my charity

The statistics on blindness are staggering. But people do not go blind by the million, they go blind one by one, and for each person the impact is enormous. Poverty and blindness are a formidable combination, depriving many people in the developing world of basic human rights. Loss of sight often results in social exclusion, making blind people vulnerable to abuse, poverty and early death. Less than half of all children who lose their sight will survive to adulthood. The figures appear overwhelming, yet providing help is simple.

Target:

$200.00

Raised so far:

$40.00

Thanks to the efforts of friends and families, fellow employees and www.tritalk.co.uk members, we raised £1,000 from the efforts of visually impaired triathletes Jan Newman and Sara Butler at the Vitruvian triathlon this year, which will be matched £-for-£ by Standard Chartered Bank and donated to fund sight restoration projects in the developing world.

We are keeping this collection website open to pick up donations from www.tritalk.co.uk members via various initiatives between now and the end of the year - thank you very much for your generosity.

Kind regards

The Project VIper team
