The challenge...
The eye patch challenge for OM research is an
activity involving wearing an eyepatch in honor or memory of
someone with OM in order to promote awareness and encourage
donations for research.
The Challenge encourages nominated
participants to wear an eyepatch and engage in any activity
(with the exception of driving) and either video it or take
a picture. The participants are encouraged to make any size
charitable financial donation
within 1 week.
Rules:
1. Within one week of being nominated
participants must video or post a picture of themselves with
an eye patch on engaging in some type of activity, (for
example eating at a restaurant, working, playing a
sport.)
2. Participants will state that they accept
the challenge and encourage everyone to get an annual eye
exam with dilation.
3. Participants are encouraged to post their
activity on social media to increase awareness and
donations.
4. After completing the eye patch challenge
participants are encouraged to nominate three to five other
people, groups, or organizations.
The eyepatch challenge has been initiated by the OM patients affiliated with Auburn University who are looking to fund their research. If more money than needed is collected the money will be kept in this fund and allocated for OM research in general and in support of OM patients getting treatment.
