🏃♀️ Day 18 of #FredsBigRun – A very happy Friday, everyone! And today is shaping up to be a good one! 🌟 This marks the end of the third week of my 150km challenge. 115km logged – another 35 to go… Last night's rain left behind a plethora of puddles for my canine companion and me to navigate this morning. 🏃♂️🐶The fog was so thick that visibility was a challenge. Despite these obstacles, we managed to log 10.39 km today and are now on the brink of achieving our ultimate goal! 🎯 💡 Directing the spotlight once again to the cause we're running for: the remarkable impact fostered by #TheFredHollowsFoundation, co-founded by Fred and his wife Gabby. Now, let's dive into the reason we're lacing up those sneakers – treating blindness is like a superhero's mission. It's not just about restoring vision; it's about wiping out barriers in underserved communities. Think about it – beyond medical care, these places lack basic life essentials. Imagine if a family member loses their vision, usually a young one. Suddenly, another family member becomes their sidekick, helping them navigate daily life. But hang on, where's the extra support? That's the challenge. And don't even get me started on trachoma – this disease is so viral a hug can even pass it along. So, avoidable blindness isn't just a personal hurdle; it affects families, communities, and the entire economy like a domino effect. But here's the jaw-dropper: every $1 invested in defeating avoidable blindness comes back as a whopping $4 boost for the economy. Since the inception of #TheFredHollowsFoundation, it has impacted over 3 million lives, training doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers to identify, diagnose, refer, and address ocular issues within their communities. The Foundation's vital advocacy efforts spread awareness about the prevention and treatment of avoidable blindness at the local level. Join me in exploring the profound impact more closely next time. 🔍 You are the real stars of this show – your unwavering support has smashed our funding goal. We're not just achieving, we're overachieving, and the possibility of doubling our impact is glowing on the horizon. So, let's keep this energy going and leave a legacy that we can be proud of! 💫💛 If you're eager to be a part of this great mission, my fundraising page awaits you here: https://lnkd.in/gniVhmdb.
