Give Sight Global

Did you know that 80% of blindness is curable? Give Sight Global is teaming up with the Claussen-Leahy Maverick Run on to pursue this shared vision of a seeing world.

Give Sight Global is a worldwide community of people who seek to make a real, tangible difference in the lives of others. As a nonprofit organization, they bring life-changing cataract surgery to cure blindness in underserved areas of the world.

How does it work? Companies pledge donations for calories burned by Give Sight app users, along with doctors who donate their time and skill. For every 120 calories that you burn, a dollar is donated to curing blindness. That means that you need to burn only 3,000 calories to cure blindness for someone. Imagine going blind because you could not come up with $25 for eye surgery. You can prevent that from happening and help a person in need see new hope.
