Oh, what sights we'll see!
Walk. Run. Paddle. Ride. Swim. However you like to move, join the ‘7 Sights Challenge’ to help save the sight of more Australians. By taking part you’ll be raising awareness, supporting more patients and their families and funding the ground-breaking research that is needed to improve treatment outcomes and save sight.
This March, challenge yourself to Find, Snap and Share 7 sights to help end glaucoma blindness.

The Challenge
The 7 Sights Challenge is all about appreciating our precious peepers. Look at what you can see! How amazing is that? Imagine not seeing that ever again, because glaucoma stole your sight.
Glaucoma affects 1 in 50 Australians. It is the leading cause of preventable yet irreversible vision loss and blindness and can have profound implications on so many aspects of life.
Your fundraising efforts will go towards early detection programs, deliver better treatment outcomes and provide much needed mental health and practical support services.
We are calling on you to join the mission to take glaucoma out of the picture. Because every snap taken and every sight shared reminds us how precious our eyesight really is.
