Optician's editor to tackle triathlon to raise cash for Blind Veterans UK

Optician’s editor, Chris Bennett will be taking part in the Sussex Original Triathlon this September to raise money for Blind Veterans UK and is looking for sponsorship.

Blind Veterans UK is a practical charity that helps those who have served in the armed forces but are now suffering visual loss. Many recipients may have completed National Service many years ago or have been in the forces for just a short period of time. BVUK helps people in their own homes with low vision services and runs facilities around the country as residential treatment and respite centres for visually impaired veterans and their families.
