SWIM FOR SIGHT

 Upon meeting at the United States Junior Chamber National Jaycee Meeting in Nashville, fellow 2015 TOYA (Ten Outstanding Young Americans) recipients, U.S. Olympic Swimmer, Missy Franklin, and Omaha Ophthalmologist, Dr. Michael Feilmeier, expressed mutual respect for the commitment and passion each exhibited in their pursuit to help others.

Learning of Dr. Feilmeier’s work to champion needless blindness Missy expressed an interest in accompanying Mike someday on an outreach. This sparked the creation of Swim For Sight as a way in which Missy could help Dr. Feilmeier raise awareness and funding to help cure blindness.

Swim Clubs and individuals are encouraged to hold Swim For Sight Swim-A-Thons to raise money to cure blindness as a way to support Missy and Mike’s Swim For Sight initiative.

Every $25 raised cures one patient.

Document your fundraiser and send us your mailing address and you may receive a Swim For Sight cap signed by Missy.
