Supporter Spotlight

Our supporters are very important to us. As a patient-led organisation, they are at the core of everything we do. Without the hard work, creativity and inspiration of the many people that give their time to Fighting Blindness, we would not have grown to be the organisation we are today.

Our members, volunteers and fundraisers help us invest over €3.5 million into research for treatments and cures for blindness. There are many extraordinary things happening all across the country by our supporters. We’d like to share some of their stories with you.
