"As I stand here before you today, I truly believe that a "Cure is In Sight!"" These few words summed up the massive upwelling of support that was seen at the Foundation Fighting Blindness VisionWalk on May 5th. With the support of the Reston and other area Lions Clubs, the Foundation was able to raise over $123,000 for vision research.
There were several Reston Lions Club members present to hand out information to walk participants regarding the work that Lions Clubs across America are doing every day to support vision health. The Sight an Hearing Van was on site to perform Vision and hearing screenings freely to anyone who showed up.
Over 400 people showed their support by walking 3.2 miles on the route through Reston. Big and tall, short, small. All were welcome.
Thank you to our donors, our walkers, our Club members who turned out and to Foundation Foundation Blindness for organizing a wonderful event!
