The Everest Base Camp trek was a massive challenge especially as I am afraid of heights! There were 11 massive bridges we had to cross over very deep valleys. The sponsorship for Vision Care was a massive incentive to keep going. I also had the amazing support of my husband and our fantastic guide Dhansingh. There was one terrifying moment when a train of pack mules came across the bridge from the other side whilst I was only half way
Some of our fundraisers prefer to test themselves by organising their own challenges, such as Michael who cycled coast to coast from Whitehaven to Tynemouth in a weekend with a group of friends.
‘It was lovely to get friends and family to support me and help make a difference – it is a very worthwhile cause.’
Michael is an optometrist and now volunteers with our Edinburgh clinic.
‘I work for Specsavers and Vision Care is a charity that is very close to us. As a team we pledged to support our partner charities, so I challenged myself to run the London Landmarks Half Marathon and raise funds to help the charity provide free eyecare’
