2012 Los Angeles VisionWalk

WAY TO GO LOS ANGELES!

Thank you Los Angeles Walkers! The rain held off (because it never rains in LA) and we even had some blue skies peek through, to create a fabulous day Sunday. Over 350 walkers came out and supported the 6th Annual Los Angeles VisionWalk!

We had 35 fantastic teams participate in this year's VisionWalk to help the Foundation Fighting Blindness raise over $70,000 (and counting) for critical retinal degenerative disease research. Please continue to reach out to family and friends and watch our thermometer as we get closer to our goal! The Walk maybe over, but the fundraising continues! If you have any checks that you forgot to bring to the walk or that you have received since Sunday, please send them to:

Foundation Fighting Blindness
Attn: Los Angeles VisionWalk
2800 28th Street, Suite 310
Santa Monica, CA 90405
