We are going to create waves throughout the eye world and reach all those living in fear either because they were just diagnosed with an eye disease or those that have been isolated due to their blindness.<br>
<br>
<strong>We need your help!</strong><br>
<br>
I am challenging each of you to get one more visually impaired surfer to register this week and we will hit our goal!<br>

There are more great announcements coming!<br>
Stay tuned and make sure you are following us on Facebook (LoveVision) and Instagram (LoveVisionMission) to hear everything that is happening! </span><br>
