Thank you Newfoundland & Labrador riders for raising $185,000 for vision research!
Ride for Sight is thankful for the dedicated riders in Newfoundland & Labrador who are making a difference in the fight against blindness. Thank you Dr. Bob Gendron for speaking at the 2011 Ride for Sight on the importance of vision research and how with the help of Ride for Sight, the Foundation Fighting Blindness is able to continue its mission to find a cure for degenerative blindness.
Here are some pictures from this year's event which raised over $185,000 and counting. If you have any pictures you would like to share, please email them to us.
