Nellie Baker's Seeing is Believing
23 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.
For some strange reason I have agreed to abseil down the Standard Chartered building in Jersey blindfold! This will take place on December 4. This is not just a mad way to deal with a stressful day but rather a cunning plan to raise money for Seeing is Believing.
Thanks for sponsoring me to jump of the buidling!
