Richard Moore was born in Derry and grew up on the Creggan Estate. On 4th May 1972 at the age of 10, he was coming home from school with friends when he was shot at point-blank range by a British soldier, leaving him totally blind. When his brother broke the news to him that he would be blind for the rest of his life, Richard says that he took the news surprisingly well. He was, however, deeply affected by the fact that he would never see his parents’ faces again or play football, which he loved. He gradually adjusted to blindness but was adamant that he should not be pitied or be seen to be disabled. Having completed his education, he married Rita and they have two children. He was a founder member of Children in Crossfire, through which he sets up projects for the development of children caught in wartorn zones.
