As we enter Thanksgiving week, we are reminded of something profound: gratitude is not passive. It moves, it builds, it connects, and it lifts. Every day, members of this community take a moment—sometimes a sentence, sometimes a story—to send us encouragement, hope, and love. These messages are far more than replies. They are reminders that we’re not walking this journey alone.
This week, we’re sharing a collection of real reviews and experiences from people whose words have touched our hearts. These aren’t edited, curated, or manufactured. They are genuine expressions of support from the people who make A Race Against Blindness what it is: a community of compassion and belief.
🌟 “Congratulations! I am excited to be part of Luke’s return to good vision… I send love and gratitude to you each day for the most magnificent outcome possible.”
— Suzanne C.
Suzanne’s words arrived on a day when our hearts needed them most. Her message embodies the spirit of Thanksgiving: hope, love, and a daily practice of gratitude. We are so honored that Luke’s story is part of her own expression of faith and compassion.
🌟 “Love this! Having the personal connection to living with blindness myself — being legally blind — I’m happy I was able to support the cause.”
— Paula H.
This message carries powerful weight. Hearing from someone who personally understands the challenges of vision loss is deeply impactful. Their willingness to stand with us reinforces how important this mission is—not just for Luke, but for all who share similar journeys.
🌟 “Awesome!!!! Your quest, family, and your son will stay in our prayers.”
— Glenna F.
Prayer is a powerful connector. Glenna’s message carries warmth and conviction—a reminder that countless people hold Luke and all families facing Bardet-Biedl Syndrome in their hearts this season.
🌟 “That’s amazing news… So happy to be able to support this mission (and have a little fun along the way)!”
— Alex D.
Alex perfectly captures the joy behind this mission: the blend of giving, fun, and purpose. His words reflect the collective excitement and optimism behind each milestone we reach together.
🌟 “This is beautiful! Congratulations — I can’t give much, but this is a cause I will continue to support. 💙”
— Tori G.
This message speaks to generosity in its purest form—not measured by amount, but by heart. Their words reflect the humility and kindness that often goes unseen, yet carries profound impact.
