Who would ever consider the possibility of waking up one day and realizing there is something seriously wrong with your vision,” asks Jim Hynes, a 45 year old Operations Logistics Coordinator with Technip Canada in St. John’s. “It was the furthest thing from my mind”.
Recently the possibility became a reality when Jim lost the sight in his right eye. Now he is a man on a mission to raise awareness about vision health and the importance of CNIB programs and services to someone experiencing vision loss. Jim is the spokesperson for the CNIB Everyday Hero fundraising campaign and he is calling on his friends and associates to help him. Meet Jim Hynes
