KEIGHLEY-BASED Sight Airedale has launched a fund to help a tot who was born blind.

One-year-old Connor Wrighton, who also has cerebral palsy, has undergone pioneering stem cell treatment in India.

And he faces further surgery overseas as medical teams battle to help him see.

Now Sight Airedale, formerly Keighley & District Blind Association, has set-up Connor’s Humpty Fund to support the youngster.

“The fund will run until 2019 and Connor’s parents will be able to access the money for any purpose until he starts attending school,” said Annette Gregory, for Sight Airedale.

“People can donate online or send us cheques!”

The charity’s board of directors kicked off the fund with a £500 donation.

Cheques can be sent to the Sight Airedale office at 1 Albert Street, Keighley.
