Premier Eye Associates has launched the "Team Walker" Campaign to support a local young father's recovery after a life-changing incident. This effort is focused on raising essential funds to help with his rehabilitation process throughout the summer.

The 30-year-old father was paralyzed after he was attacked at a brewery earlier this year. He is now in an intensive rehab program that aims to help him walk again, but it comes with a hefty price tag of about $50,000 annually, which insurance does not cover. To protect his privacy, his name hasn't been made public. The road to regaining mobility is steep and demands a lot of resources.

Dr. Tyler Mills, co-founder of Premier Eye Associates, spoke about their commitment to the cause. "When we learned about his situation and saw how determined he was to walk again, we felt compelled to help. Our community is at the heart of our mission, and this was a meaningful way to make a real, hopeful impact," Dr. Mills stated.

"Team Walker" will roll out in two parts, beginning with a campaign on Instagram. Until July 15, for every new follower of their @PremierEyeDocs Instagram profile, Premier Eye Associates will donate $1, with a cap of $5,000. This simple action encourages community support and converts clicks into real help.

The second phase involves eye exams, running from July 15 to August 31. For each eye exam scheduled with the mention of "Team Walker," $20 will go to the cause. There is no limit on these donations, providing multiple chances for people to lend a hand.

"This campaign is more than just about vision care; it uses our everyday connections with patients to encourage a greater cause," explained Dr. Mills. "It's an opportunity to give back in a meaningful way."

The focus of this campaign is a father from Mount Laurel, who sustained a major spinal injury during the attack, which drastically altered his life. Despite these challenges, he remains incredibly resilient and is involved in advanced rehab to enhance his motor skills.

"Team Walker" is inspired by his determination to walk again. Supporters can also make direct donations through the family's page on helphopelive.org.

Social media is crucial for spreading the word about "Team Walker." Engaging through Facebook lets the community stay informed and share updates, while using X has been useful for immediate interactions and broadening their reach.

There are three ways for people to participate: follow @PremierEyeDocs on Instagram by July 15, schedule an eye exam mentioning "Team Walker" from July 15 to August 31, and share campaign updates on social media or through emails. "In our busy lives, just following a page or having an eye exam can really change someone's life for the better," Dr. Mills highlighted.
