Chris is so close to reaching his new target of £5,000! At the time of writing this, he’s at £4,850.

Chris said, “Many of you may know that I lost my left eye last year and now wear a prosthetic. MySight York supported me on this difficult journey and I’ve challenged myself to walk Coast to Coast this summer, from 9th to 22nd August, to support this small charity. They do amazing work in York for people with sight loss.”

We want to extend a massive thank you to Chris for his dedication, enthusiasm, and willingness to take on this mind-boggling feat. His unwavering support is making a real difference.

Good luck Chris!
