We’re stepping up to restore sight!
We're taking on Fred’s Big Run this August to STEP UP TO RESTORE SIGHT!
Our goal is to raise funds for The Fred Hollows Foundation to continue the legacy of an Australian legend, Fred Hollows.
Because right now, 9 out of 10 people who are blind don't need to be...
And an operation that costs as little as $25 can help restore sight to someone who is needlessly blind, and change their life forever!
Please make a donation and support our challenge to give the gift of sight.
Fred Hollows' dream was to live in a world where no one was needlessly blind, please sponsor our challenge and let's honour his memory together.
Thank you for your support.
