UK’s best-loved celebrities “Chit Chat” in aid of Fight for Sight

Fight for Sight has teamed up with Jackie Weiler and Wienerworld to produce a unique double CD, Chit Chat Celebrity Interviews. A minimum of 50% of the manufacturer’s profits will go directly to Fight for Sight to fund research into blindness and eye disease.

The CD is the initiative of Jackie Weiler, a freelance journalist and volunteer interviewer for a talking newspaper for the blind since 1982. It contains exclusive interviews with some of the UK’s best-loved entertainers and sports stars including Spike Milligan, Rolf Harris, Peter Ustinov and Gary Lineker. Jackie said: “This CD is a compilation of some of the most fascinating people I’ve had the privilege of meeting during my career as an interviewer for visually impaired people. I dedicated the CD to Fight for Sight because I’ve got poor eye sight myself and know how important their work is.”

Fight for Sight Director of Fundraising Annu Mayor said: “This is a really exciting new initiative for Fight for Sight and we’re grateful to everyone involved.” Anthony Broza, MD of Wienerworld, said: “We’re delighted to support such a worthwhile project, which will help to raise much needed funding for Fight for Sight.”

The CD costs £10 + P& P and is available at major retailers or direct from Wienerworld: http://www.wienerworld.com/wworld.php?catnumber=WNRCD5042 or 020 8206 1177.
