May is Macular Macular month👁

May is Macula Month 👁️ We’re raising awareness of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) – a leading cause of vision loss.

Over time, AMD affects the macula, which is the part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision. For some, changes are slow, while for others, progression is faster – making awareness and early detection important. 🔎

Our 'Understanding age related macular degeneration' guide outlines forms of AMD, risk factors and current approaches to care – supporting conversations between patients, families and eye care professionals. 🏥

Last week was a big week for Team Sisters!
It started off on Tuesday with a visit to the Garfield & Bunyip Probus Club. We gave a long talk about why Team Sisters are so dedicated to raising money and creating awareness of eye health in the community. We also showed the video made about Geographic Atrophy and our family. We had a long question time which was a lot of fun and then we sold some raffle tickets.There was over 100 people in attendance, they all learnt something and had a great afternoon.
After we enjoyed our soup and sandwiches, we were presented with a donation of $1905. Team Sisters went home feeling very humbled and appreciative of the day but also a very full belly.

On Friday, Sharon went to meet up with Karl & Trish Henderson from the Bairnsdale Lions Club with Karl also being the Lions Ride for Sight Chairman 201v3 Lions Ride for Sight . They met at Traralgon to pick up 3 sold raffle books and have a really nice lunch at the Butter Factory. Then Sharon walked the Streets of Traralgon & sold another book of tickets to some of the shops owners before coming home.
This weekend we have been working on the Team Sisters Eye Health Night next Thursday in Inverloch. Making sure the night will run smoothly and everyone will have a great time but more importantly learn something from the 3 speakers.

There is still time to buy raffle tickets before its drawn next Thursday. Cheap at $2 a ticket or $200 for a book of tickets.

Contact Shazza Willmott, Leesa Willmott or Kerry Fitzgerald and we can arrange your purchase for you. All money raised goes to the Centre for Eye Research Australia .
