Croatian Coastline Challenge to aid 'Fighting Blindness'

take part in a sponsored trek along the beautiful Croatian Coastline. 30 Irish challengers will trek 60 kilometres in just three days to raise €40,000 for 'Fighting Blindness'. "These events are imperative to continue and extend this research as these conditions affect 65,000 adults and children in Ireland and 200 million people worldwide. Irish researchers are at the forefront of this research and this fundraiser will make the treatments a reality," said Avril Daly of Fighting Blindness.

Croatia has reclaimed its original spender after its war-torn history and is now regarded as the jewel of the Adriatic coast with its rugged cliffs and glittering sea.
