BLIND FOR A DAY (BFAD) - SATURDAY 13TH OCTOBER 2012
Join the Facebook event page here.
I'm trying to raise money for the Royal National Institute of Blind People and spread awareness about issues surrounding sight loss.
1 in 30 people in the UK suffer from sight loss. The good people at RNIB offer information, support and advice to them and their loved ones. They also support essential research to find out more about and promote their needs, and spread awareness to the general public about the importance of regular eye tests.
Check out their website for much more info: rnib.org.uk
To those people like myself who do not suffer from any severe sight loss, the idea of being blind can be extremely difficult to imagine. To find out more about these issues and in order to gain sponsors, I am challenging myself to wear a blindfold for a whole 24 hours. I will be documenting the experience on camera, and then uploading it to YouTube at the end of the weekend as a 3-part video series!
Any donations large or small would be greatly appreciated! To sponsor me, visit justgiving.com/bfad
Interview I did with a lovely lady called Alba about living with blindness:
