&ldquo;Vivek will participate in a walk against blindness organised by a private eye hospital and a research centre in Navi Mumbai tomorrow. The walk will start from Palm Beach road in Vashi and end at a mall there. There, Vivek will pledge to donate his eyes,&rdquo; informs a source close to the actor.
Around 1,200 school kids and 10,000 people from across the city are expected to attend the event.
Vivek says, &ldquo;There is no better way to be thankful for the gift of our sight than by helping someone in the dark. I came across a family, who approached me to help them search an eye donor. Through my interactions with them, I realised that it is a huge task to actually find donors as there are several stigmas and taboos associated with this. Not only have I pledged to donate my eyes but also hope to drive a strong social campaign for the cause of eye donations.&rdquo;
