This much I know: Richard Moore

I LOST my eyesight aged 10 when I was shot by a soldier’s rubber bullet.

Despite the trauma, I got through it with the support of a good family and community. I was the second youngest of 12 kids.

I set up the charity Children In Crossfire in 1996 because of my own life experience. Despite all the difficulties in Derry in the 1970s, I still had choices and opportunities available to me. I realised that there were many kids in other parts of the world who may had have their eyesight, but didn’t have what I had. So I simply decided to help children like that, who are facing injustice and poverty.
