WOW - thank you everybody, so much, for funding this trip! My fundraising goal has been fully met!

This conference is just a few weeks away. Lots to plan for. It's going to be a packed time and I am really looking forward to it!

If anybody is visiting this too late to donate, and still want to, perhaps you could consider donating to our general nonprofit startup fund The Dry Eye Foundation. 

-------------------------------------------
(Here's what it was about)

I want to attend the Global Specialty Lens Symposium in Las Vegas, January 24-27 on behalf of the Dry Eye Foundation and am looking for help to cover my airfare and hotel.

Here's why I want to attend:

I know or have known many of the doctors who will be speaking and want the opportunity to reconnect with them!

I want to meet more doctors!

I want to attend as many courses as possible to learn about trends in the usage and fitting of scleral lenses for people with a variety of types of corneal diseases so that I can report back to the scleral lens community, and incorporate things learned in resources we want to prepare for patients!

I want to have as many conversations as possible with doctors who are fitting scleral lenses to talk with them about some of our unique needs and issues!

I want to talk with manufacturers about their latest developments!

I want to connect with the Scleral Lens Education Society o/b/o patients!

Here's what I expect the costs to be:
$600 hotel (staying at the conference venue to maximize time with participants)
$200 airfare
$200 food & incidentals

Thank you for considering helping me get to Vegas… which is, incidentally, officially the worst city in the US for people with dry eye :)
