Workplace Giving is a simple way to donate to charities direct from your pay, and get your donations matched. Most companies match donations, so you could double your impact, giving your charity even more support!
This year I am doing my part to give back by participating in Bridge to Brisbane and running for The Fred Hollows Foundation to help cure treatable blindness in developing nations and here in Australia. I love this particular charity mostly because to help someone see is a life changing and permanent solution to better someone's life.
Not only do they help in an area that is particularly close to my heart, but they are a rare charity that give over 80% of their donations to the cause in over 20 countries around the world. You can support my efforts and help me reach my fundraising goal by making a secure online donation.
Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to the foundation.
Last year raised over $600 for them in last year's Bridge to Brisbane and every donation is tax deductible. This year I hope to beat that goal, and my time in the race.

The Fred Hollows Foundation
The Fred Hollows Foundation works towards a world where no one is needlessly blind, and where Indigenous Australians enjoy the same health and life expectancy as other Australians.
Our organisation is inspired by Professor Fred Hollows (1929-1993). Fred was an eye doctor, skilled surgeon and a social justice activist who championed the right of all people to high quality affordable eye and to good health.
