Tim Knight's Seeing is Believing

12 February 2010

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.

Our team 'the misfits' are attempting to complete the 2010Wadi Bih relay run in Oman. The race starts in the early morning from Dibba beach and hugs the nearby Wadi's and Hajar mountains for a draining 72km to finish late in the day.

The event will prove a great team effort, and we hope to raise 5000 AED (approx $1263 USD) for ‘Seeing is Believing’ for our efforts,

All donations are highly appreciated
