May is Vision Health Month and Murphy Battista LLP is delighted to be a local partner supporting Cycle for Sight West Coast, 2023, which is taking place on June 3, 2023. This annual fundraiser is an initiative led by Fighting Blindness Canada (FBC), Canada’s leading nonprofit advocate of sight-saving research.

There is still time to get involved. For information on the event and how to register, visit the Cycle for Sight West Coast web page.

Cycle for Sight is a one-day riding event to raise funds for much-needed ongoing vision research for Canadians. According to FBC, more than 1.2 million Canadians live with vision loss, and 8 million live with eye disease, putting them at risk of blindness. Funds raised offer hope to Canadians by supporting the research needed to identify the best, most promising research-driving treatments for blinding eye diseases.

Last year the event returned to an in-person cycling event format and this year Cycle for Sight West Coast is celebrating 10 years of supporting the fight against vision loss. To mark this milestone, FBC has added some additional prizes for the good folks who give their time and fundraising energy to this event, including the opportunity to enter a draw to win 2 economy-class Air Canada Tickets to any Air Canada scheduled destination in North America including Hawaii, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
