All skills are welcome, and it’s an excellent opportunity to support a fantastic cause, enjoy a great day out with your colleagues and meet professional golfer Ady Wheatcroft. Ady will showcase some fantastic trick shots, and professional auctioneer Thomas Rose from Hammer Time Fundraising will also present brand-new lots for an auction.
Debbie White has been involved with Fight for Sight for nearly 3 decades and heads up the Fight for Sight Warwickshire Committee.
Debbie knows first-hand the devastating effects of sight loss as she has retinitis pigmentosa. She has been living with Usher syndrome – a rare genetic disorder that causes hearing impairment and progressive vision loss for over 40 years.
One of her many passions was playing golf; as her sight worsens, she knows the value of days like this!
Why support Fight for Sight?
Fight for Sight is the leading UK charity 100% dedicated to funding pioneering eye research since 1965. There are currently 2.5 million people in the UK affected by sight loss, which is set to double by 2050. Only 1.5% of the £1.4 billion that UK Research and Innovation, government and other public bodies invested in medical research were for eye research. That’s just £9.60 for each person affected by sight loss in the UK! Every year, sight loss costs the UK economy £25 billion – the majority of which lies outside health and social care.
Behind these statistics are real people diagnosed daily with a sight loss condition that may be incurable and result in blindness.
Fight for Sight provides a beacon of hope that one day there could be a cure or a new treatment that will save their sight.
