I am a former soldier who has worked in some challenged parts of the world. The Fred Hollows Foundations restores the gift of sight to those who no longer have it nor can afford the cost of a simple treatment. Many people stay needlessly blind because they live in poverty. In developing countries, blindness denies people education, independence and the ability to work – things which can break the poverty cycle. But all this can be changed with as little as $25. I will be raising funds for the Fred Hollows Foundation by doing four pushups for every kilometre of the Tour de France from 2-24 July, thats just over 14000 push ups in 23 days! With an initial target of $14000, or just $1 per push up, I hope to help 560 people get their sight back. Most of us are lucky enough to take the gift of sight for granted. Please help me in this challenge to give the gift of sight back to others.
Our vision is for a world where no one is needlessly blind, and Indigenous Australians enjoy the same health and life expectancy as other Australians.
