Hide AdBev Tinson, project development and outreach officer said: “About 31,000 people in the county are living with a form of sight loss. Your donation, no matter how small, can make a positive difference to somebody’s life!”
David hopes to cycle at least 15km each day ending on Friday, March 3. The challenge will take him through various levels of difficulty working up to Level 17 which is the equivalent of climbing Harting Hill at a gradient of 32 per cent.
Anyone who would like to sponsor David can go into the Midhurst 4SIGHT Centre in
North Street, enter their name and amount pledged on a sponsor form or ring 01730 812 338.
