Jamie Dyson lost the sight in one of his eyes when he was playing hockey, and has had several operations without his vision being restored. However, he is still keen to climb some of the highest mountains in the UK during what may be a hectic 24 hours.
The fundraising efforts of Jamie and his colleagues have led to the pledging of around £1,000 in potential donations. If Myton Hospice wants to attract more publicity for the cause, it could use Print shops in Coventry.
Jamie has told the Coventry Telegraph:
“My injury was just one of those things. I love playing sport, especially rugger, so that may be affected. However, there are lots of other activities I will still be able to enjoy, perhaps by wearing safety glasses.”
The challenge in question is scheduled to take place on the 13th birthday of the young walker. He will attempt to scale the summits of Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis. His father Jeff Dyson, who has managed to complete the walk on a previous occasion, will accompany him.
In recognition of his attitude, Jamie has received a nomination in the Pride of Coventry and Warwickshire Awards. This event is supporting a hospice for babies called Zoë’s Place.
