Made 2 Measure Fenders and Theo's Future



Theo was born, happy and healthy, on New Year's Eve 2006. At the age of six months, he was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition of the retina called Leber's Congenital Amaurosis (LCA). He is now blind, and there is no treatment or cure - yet.

Theo's godfather Mike has set about raising funds £7,600 pledged so far, towards the cost of a Light Scanner System (costs £27,000) for the renowned team at Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, who are carrying out pioneering research into LCA.

Mike is raising these funds by sailing an 19' Cape Cutter called Theo's Future around Britain, leaving Bosham Quay on 5th July 2008 at 9.30 am - time and tide waits for no man.

You can follow Mike's progress and give him your help and support on www.theosfuture.org

I am delighted to be supporting Mike in his adventure and wish him all the best.
