Emmie Did It!

A huge congratulations to Emmie, who successfully completed the Cross Bay Walk and has absolutely smashed her fundraising target!

Her original goal was £250, but thanks to the incredible generosity of her supporters, she has now raised an amazing £365– and donations are still coming in!

Vision Support Barrow & District is incredibly proud that Emmie chose to support our charity with this amazing challenge. After taking part in charity litter picks in previous years, she stepped up to her biggest challenge yet by walking 8 miles across the famous Morecambe Bay with the official Bay Walk guides.

As the youngest fundraiser taking part, Emmie showed incredible determination and resilience, raising vital funds to support the children and young people living with sight loss that her Aunty Ashley works with.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, shared her fundraiser, and cheered her on. Your generosity will make a real difference to the lives of people with visual impairments across our community.

Well done, Emmie – we’re all incredibly proud of you!
