World Sight Day is October 14th. Seva Canada's global online campaign to raise awareness of the issues of blindness and low vision is getting attention from as far away as Nepal and Australia. We've asked people to take a moment to think about what they'd miss if they went blind. Then, write it down, snap a photo and become a fan of our Facebook page and upload the image. We've heard from lots of people that this is a very emotional issue for them. Even contemplating blindness for a moment brings tears to their eyes. We hope you'll join our campaign. Learn more on the World Sight Day page on our website. Here's a slideshow of what people have told us they would miss:
