Dear Andrea,
The temperatures outside are fluctuating like crazy but the 11th Annual New York VisionWalk<http://www.fightblindness.org/site/R?i=eLLWAFiqAAmtvBNplPrxwQ> just keeps heating up! We've had jumps in teams, registrants, and fundraising over the past few weeks. Thank you for all you are doing to make this VisionWalk a great success!
We know that our VisionWalkers are truly dedicated to finding preventions, treatments, and cures for blindness. You can help us take strides toward our mission by participating in today's Catch the Current Challenge!
