Some of you may know that several of us from this site have tried to get out butts in gear re forming a charity to raise awareness on floaters ( degenerative
vitreous). Two of our main aims are to try and get the medical community to make the distinction between everyday floaters and those of such severity that
quality of life is effected - and also to try and raise funds for research.
We need raise 5000 sterling and then we will gain proper charity status...until then there's a lot we can do re raising awareness. We have an excellent project manager, a coder for the site, a designer and various others with real skills...however we need help from people on this board - I know there's more than a couple who have real skills to contribute and who could be key members of our team. At present, the project manager in particular is taking on a huge workload and if help is not found, it's going to be hard for us to keep going forward - though we will. Sharing the burden would really help. If you want to do something tangible to help floater sufferers, we need anyone who could help with online research (finding places to raise awareness and posting - it would help to have a French speaker, Italian, Russian etc.), pr, ideas for marketing, we also need a flash designer.
The name of the charity will be The Degenerative Vitreous Association and the website will be www.oneclearvision.org (at present eye floaters. com is here but that will be revamped) If anyone can help pls send me your email address through this site.
Best Wishes
