Optician's fundraising for Blind Veterans and SeeAbility reaches milestone

Fundraising from the Optician summer charity challenge for Blind Veterans UK and SeeAbility has broken through its target of £1,000 with pledges of support from across the optical community.

Optician’s editor, Chris Bennett, will be taking part in the Alpe d’Huez Triathlon and the 100 mile Prudential RideLondon event. The first event tackles a swim in the icy waters of Lac du Verney, before a cycle through the Alps which finishes atop the icon Alpe d’Huez. The run is then at altitude around the ski resort town. The Prudential Ride London is a closed road sportive which leaves the Olympic Park in North London before heading out into the Surrey Hills before returning to the capital to finish on The Mall in front of Buckingham Palace.
