Nearly blinded for blind charity

A seven year-old boy could have been blinded and now has permanent scarring thanks to a Guide Dog fundraiser event going wrong, according to a local newspaper.
Under the headline , IC South London reports that Connor Clitheroe had to have plastic surgery after falling over in the playground of his Catford school while wearing cool sunglasses to support the charity's annual event. 13 July was a dark overcast day and Connor's sight was impaired further by wearing the shades which, they say, contributed to the unfortunate accident.
The newspaper stops short of paying homage to the irony that Shades For a Day is a campaign to promote good eye health. And Connor's family blast the school for being irresponsible.
