Run Club is fundraising
Guerrilla Run 7 - Foundation Fighting Blindness
Want to join me in making a difference? With the help of RunClub, I am raising money to benefit Foundation Fighting Blindness, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. You may or may not know this, but my son has a severe vision impairment. Because of FFB I am quite certain that we will one day end blindness by finding treatments and cures for the vast array of conditions affecting many of those dear to our hearts. Any and every donation is greatly appreciated and I can assure you FFB will put every penny to good use.

More information about Foundation Fighting Blindness: The urgent mission of the Foundation Fighting Blindness is to drive the research that will provide preventions, treatments and cures for people affected by retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, Usher Syndrome, and the entire spectrum of retinal degenerative diseases.

You can simply donate here, but if you'd like to be a part of the run/walk...

Join RunClub for our 7th Guerrilla Run! Donate $25 and run or walk with us on Sunday, November 14th. All proceeds support Foundation Fighting Blindness.

If you've never done RunClub's Guerrilla Run, it started in 2014 as an informal, untimed event through Lindley Park, the Greensboro Arboretum, and Sunset Hills... and it's not a race! You may find bananas, flamingos, gorillas (you never know?!) along the route. Turn-by-turn directions for 5k and 10k routes will be provided, so you can decide that morning which to do.

There is no event registration other than accepting this Facebook event. Just bring 25 bucks and share this invitation with a friend!

Starting line is at Sticks & Stones: 2200 Walker Ave inGreensboro, NC

9:00am - Registration

10:00am - Guerrilla Run/Walk (5k/10k)

11:00am - Guerrilla Party + Prizes

12:00pm - Lunch at Sticks & Stones (optional)

Charlie's Birthday
For years, actor Charlie Cox has given us such joy and brought us all together as fans. Charlie's birthday is December 15 and instead of sending him various gifts like in previous years, I started a GoFundMe in his honour to benefit the Foundation Fighting Blindness . Charlie's dear friends, Deborah Ann Woll and EJ Scott, recently held a fundraiser and awareness for the same cause, as it's very dear to all their hearts.

For one week, from Friday December 7th through Friday the 14th (the deadline is midnight New York City time), I'm hoping all Charlie's Daredevil fans will come together to raise as much money as we can in this short length of time. Charlie has used his status and visibility as a Marvel superhero to do so much for the less fortunate; how about we give a little back to someone we all appreciate?

No matter what country you're in, if you give the small donation of $10 (currencies will be converted on the site to ensure we're all donating the same amount) we can give this worthy cause a great gift that will be an amazing birthday present in Charlie's name, but an even better Christmas present of hope for those awaiting a cure from blindness.

PLEASE GIVE TEN FOR CHARLIE

Thanks a million,
Suzanne

Help Fund Breakthrough Research for Vision Loss
Vision loss from genetic disorders affects millions, yet research for these conditions is severely underfunded. Many families watch their loved ones lose their independence and dreams because treatments or cures remain out of reach. While scientists are on the brink of breakthroughs in genetic therapies, they need our help to continue their work.

Every day without progress means more children and adults face irreversible vision loss. Research is advancing rapidly, but funding gaps slow down vital work that could lead to early detection, better treatments, or even a cure. With your help, we can accelerate this progress and bring hope to families worldwide.

Together, we can create a future where vision loss from genetic conditions is a thing of the past. No amount is too small—every dollar brings us closer to a world where sight is saved, and lives are transformed.

Please donate today and share this campaign with your network. Your kindness can make a lasting impact!
