Paralympian signs up for Carrots Nightwalk

Paralympic swimmer Chris Holmes MBE (pictured) has lent his support to the annual Fight for Sight Carrots Nightwalk.

Holmes, who lost his sight at the age of 14, later went on to become Britain's most successful paralympic swimmer.

On the walk, he said: 'Finding ways to reduce sight loss in adults and children is a cause that's particularly close to my heart, and I hope as many people as possible can join me on the start line.'

The walk takes place on Friday September 21. For more information on how to take part, visit www.fightforsight.org/uk/carrots or call 020 7264 3900.
