It’s Holiday season and I’m reminded that between Thanksgiving and Christmas I very much prefer America’s turkey day. Somewhere over the course of my life I began to think of Thanksgiving in two distinct parts – Thanks and Giving. There is so much I am grateful for – family, friends, good health, and most of all a sense of real purpose. I treasure my role as an Ambassador of Vision for the Discovery Eye Foundation. Our work supporting research that preserves and enhances vision is most rewarding in every way, and the stories of patients who maintain their sight because of breakthroughs provided by our Foundation and its on-going research is incredibly rewarding for all of us who work tirelessly to make a difference. On this special holiday I’m sure that every person who has benefitted from our dedication is saying “Thank You” as they enjoy a day surrounded by family and friends.
The link between the two words “Thanks” and “Giving” is obvious. When you say “thank you” the desire to give seems to go hand and hand. We are so grateful to everyone who has supported the important work of Discovery Eye through your generous donations over all these years. At this Holiday season, please know that we will continue to search for answers that will guarantee many more people with the gift of vision. We are thankful for your support and grateful that you choose to give us the opportunity to make a difference.
Happy Holidays from everyone in the Discovery Eye Family.
