Inaugural Birmingham VisionWalk

Inaugural Birmingham VisionWalk Set to Raise Funds for Blindness Research

The Foundation Fighting Blindness (www.FightBlindness.org) will host its Inaugural VisionWalk in Birmingham on Saturday, November 21, 2009 at Homewood Central Park. Registration begins at 9:00 A.M. and the Walk will start at 10:00 A.M.

The event will raise money for the research that will lead to cures for retinal degenerative diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, Usher syndrome, Stargardt disease, and numerous others. These diseases affect more than 10 million Americans of all races and ethnic groups, young and old.

Please bring your entire family to join in on the fun and excitement. We will have various activities for people of all ages, including a DJ, face painting, Kids’ Zone, and a bounce house. We will also have plenty of snacks and refreshments, a creative team spirit contest, fun announcements, and much more.
