The Vision Executives team will again be taking on Walk for World Sight Day on October 10th, and we’re excited to continue raising awareness and funds for the Himalayan Cataract Project which has recently rebranded to Cure Blindness Project. After we successfully raised over Β£2,000 through our Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge and Scafell Pike climb, we’re ready to take on Mount Snowdon to support this incredible initiative, which has already restored sight to millions in underserved regions through affordable, high-quality eye care.
