This year, Melrose Arch’s Carols on the Piazza aims to give back to the community by raising funds for the visually impaired and proceeds will be shared between two beneficiaries.

The first is the South African Guide Dogs Association, that breeds, trains, and places both guide and service dogs, empowering individuals with visual, physical, and developmental disabilities to lead more independent lives.

Guide dog owner, Cornelle Leach, who suffers from Stargardt’s dystrophy and requires a second surgery to restore her vision, will also benefit.

Leach works at a company in the precinct and has inspired South Africans with her perseverance and bravery, in aiming to restore her sight, by pursuing electro stimulation therapy, that incorporates new advances in biotechnology.
