Brendan goes Blond then Blue and Finally Bald for Blindness! #3B4B

My name is Brendan Vote and I am the founding member and one of the directors for Tasmanian Eye Institute. I have decided to do a three part fundraising appeal (#3B4B). My hair will go from its natural colour to blond, blue and finally bald to raise money towards the build of Australia's first dedicated Ophthalmic Gene Therapy Centre right here in Tassie.

Kate, Karen & Chris run 63.3kms!

Kate, Karen and Chris raised a whopping $855 for Tasmanian Eye Institute to go towards to build of our Gene Therapy Centre.
