MADISON, Wis.– COVID-19 isn’t stopping the 10th Annual Cycle for Sight fundraiser from riding on, but it is changing the mechanics of it.
The Cycle for Sight fundraiser benefits the McPherson Eye Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. It will take place from Friday, April 23 through Sunday, May 2.
Instead of a one-day, indoor cycling event, participants are asked to walk, bike or run for one hour at some point over the next ten days.
All money raised will fund research for eye disorders including, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, childhood-related sight disorders and more.
