I am actually in shock.
We have reached 100% of our target, and we're still a month away from the event.
The enormous generosity of Aragon, donating £50 has taken us up to £107.36.
I will be increasing the donation target to £150 very shortly. If you'd like to, you can donate to the fundraiser at https://blue-eyes.net/donate.
This money really will change lives of visually impaired people across the UK.
There will be more news posted today over on our Discord, so stay tuned! https://blue-eyes.net/discord is the place to go.
You're all amazing, thank you!

Blue Eyes is a Charity Event raising money for the Moorfields Eye Charity.
But, why do we run it?
This charity means a lot to me due to what they do, and what they have done to help me personally.Their work is extraordinary, and changes lives every day. But they can't do this alone!
Moorfields are a specialist eye hospital in London. They deal with all sorts of complex conditions, and as a result. See a lot of patients with quite bad eyesight.
After years of little to no eyesight, Great Ormond Street (a children's hospital in London) told me about an experimental lens developed by Moorfields.
They told me it was risky, but could give me my sight back. So I took the risk, and had the surgery.
It was very complex, and took 4 hours, but it was successful. And here I am today, typing to you. I am still blind in one eye, and still impaired in the one with the implant, but it has transformed my life, and I'd actually go as far to say, changed it.
What are we doing?
We will be running a Truckfest followed by a 12 hour marathon convoy.
This event is in aid of Moorfields as mentioned above, and our donation target is **£100**How can I get involved?

Thank you for reading, and we'll see you in April! -
Fact 4 — There’s a practical reason why car taillights are red. The rod cells that allow us to see in the dark need time to adapt to the darkness. These cells are less sensitive to longer wavelengths of light, in other words, red light, hence red colour appears dimmer in the dark. This means red light won’t affect our eyes’ adaptation to the darkness, which is very much needed while driving at night.
7 days to Blue Eyes. Check your lights!
