After much work in establishing the Eye Research Foundation, we have begun to make inroads into the significant task we have set ourselves. That task is to build a capital fund which will provide an ongoing income stream for the hard working band of researchers who are striving to conquer the mysteries of eye disease and vision impairment. Starting a new fund is a challenge. I live on a pension.
Every donation helps and is very much appreciated.
If you would like to know how to do that, fill in the enclosed slip and return it to us. Our researchers need the certainty of funding, in addition to the welcome grants from the Government and private companies and organisations that contributed to the funding of specific projects and equipment. On behalf of our Trustees, our staff and volunteers, I want to thank every one of you who has found the time and taken the trouble to make a donation to help eye research. We also ask for your continuing generosity and support now and in the future. As summer approaches, people need to be aware that increased exposure to the harmful UV-B rays of the sun can cause eye damage.
