About my charity

Fighting Blindness

Fighting Blindness funds world-leading research in Irish universities into treatments and cures for blindness. It also provides a unique professional counselling service for people with visual impairments and their families.

These devastating sight-loss conditions affect 65,000 adults and children in Ireland alone and 40 million worldwide. After working on research for 25 years, Fighting Blindness scientists are now close to finding cures.

Could you be a Visionary and help us fund the final breakthrough which would transform the lives of so many people?

Please visit our website for more information: www.fightingblindness.ie.

Thank you for your kind support. We look forward to hearing from you.
