Mike Brooke published an account of his incredible 86 day voyage around Great Britain to raise money for Moorfields Hospital and the UCL Institute of Opthamology to continue their vital research to combat congenital blindness which has affected his Godson among thousands of others. All 1000 books have now been sold but second hand copies, in good condition, can be found on Amazon/Internet just type in 'Fight for Sight on Theo's Future'. On the positive side, Theo is now fast approaching 15 years and has a buddy dog (black lab called Penny!) issued by Guide Dogs. Guide dogs are only available to over 18 year olds.
