Hey Imgur! This is a friend of mine. His name is Richard. He is partially blind. What he suffers from is a rare eye disease called Lebers Optic Neuropathy. This happened two years ago when he was in Emily Carr - a top art school in Vancouver.
Here is some of his art work!
(Also, he got on CTV news!!! C: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYHOxddUx7E )
He is an amazing artist! Over the time I have known him, he is smart, outgoing, loving and caring! Anything and everything you can ask for in a friend.
He has always kept a positive attitude with the events that have happened in his life.
Him and his girlfriend Alex. I think they look good together :3
With everything that life brings him, he still is active, and has joined a rowing team at university.
He even went and protested Enbridge! Rawr Enbridge D:
He's started doing stand-up comedy here in town, and I do believe he is pretty good at it! (:
Here's his facebook page if you wanna check it out!

So, I am asking my fellow Imgurians to help us get the word out, to help Richard gain his sight back! Anything would be of help!
First link is a youtube video to Tom Green's interview with Richard.
Second link is to his fundraising page.
Thank you so much for you time Imgur!

I don't see anything wrong with this. This looks like a great cause. WTF is that Tom Green?!

Give my best to him. Most people would be discouraged. What he's done is awesome!

Not surgery, just a treatment. He would basically get one pill to take a day and repair his optic nerve. And YES UPDATES SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOn
