Volunteer for Stride For Sight 2012

On March 24, 2012 we are walking across the Goss Moor to raise money and celebrate 155 years of the Cornwall Blind Association.

The day will start at 10.30 and is set to be full of Cornish treats and treasures, with Ed Coode, the county's own Olympic Gold Rowing Medallist leading the way for the For Sight Appeal.

Starting and ending at the Screech Owl Sanctuary we are inviting clients, volunteers and supporters to join the rest of Cornwall to walk across the heartland and unite for our charity. This event will bring together the heritage of Cornwall, the history of the charity and the hearts and minds of everyone that has a part to play in the future of our life changing work.

A small army of dedicated volunteers is required to help make our event a day to remember.
