STRIDE AND RIDE EYES UP CHARITY CASH

A walk and a bike ride will help raise funds for a charity fighting blindness, later this month. 

To represent the eye, fundraisers will cycle the Island’s coastal route. To represent the iris, there will a walk around Newport’s circular Mill Trail.   It is in aid of research into the British Retinitis Pigmentosa Society. RP is a group of hereditary diseases which cause blindness.  For a sponsor form and more information contact Martyn on 01983 522595 or Colin McArthur on 01983 406661.  To make a donation visit www.justgiving.com/ride4sight2008 and www.justgiving.com/strideforsight2008
