A huge sigh of relief and a big “Hip, Hip Hooray” for EJ Scott! He has not only reached, but has surpassed his 2012 fundraising goal.
See EJ’s comment below:
I’m excited to announce that enough numbers are in and I have SURPASSED my $144,000 goal for 2012. A HUGE thanks to the KING family in Chicago for their amazing fundraiser that raised over $25,000. INCREDIBLE!!! The next goal? To raise $1 million for Dr Jean Bennett in Philly for the clinical trials. It’ll probably take longer than a year. And of course a huge thanks to everyone that has donated. I hope you will continue to help me. We are on our way to a cure for my eye disease that runs in my family. You’re not only helping me but also my 2 little nephews and my not so little brother. And the thousands around the world with CHM and the millions with retinal conditions.
What a feat this is, and he and all who participated should be very proud of a “job well done.” You can still give to help save EJ’s sight, and so many other who suffer from this disease by clicking on the button below and donating.
Hi EJ,
I just wanted to congratulate you on you marathons and fundraising. I too run and do triathlons to raise $$ for a health issue I have… Lyme disease. I wanted to offer you 2 things. If you ever want to delve into the triathlon world, I am a registered nurse and USA triathlon certified coach and I would love to work with you. Yes… We do have triathletes with vision deficits and without sight! I am presently a 10ish minute miler and should you ever want to run a marathon and need someone to run with you… I would be honored to be your guide. Not sure if I am your speed. But if I am… Look me up! My website it http://www.luckylizardstudios.org if you wanna find out about me! I think you ate amazing and hope our athletic paths cross one day! Best wishes!
