The Eye Institute of Utah Awards Free LASIK Surgeries for Mother's Day

(firmenpresse) - SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- (Marketwired) -- 05/16/13 -- The Eye Institute of Utah announces the winners of its 2013 Mother's Day LASIK Giveaway. Four extraordinary mothers receive at no cost for being randomly selected from hundreds of applicants.

Amanda Thomson, Elizabeth Plumb-Terry, Sarah Keppner and Mary Ayotte were chosen from entries submitted by their loved ones about how remarkable they are as mothers.

"Celebrating the mothers in our communities is extremely important to us," says Robert Cionni, MD, Medical Director of The Eye Institute of Utah. "We hope this gift conveys how much we appreciate and value the positive role they play in our society."

From balancing careers and managing households to adopting and raising foster children, the common thread that unites these women is selflessness. received touching, first-hand accounts of how the women always put the needs of others before their own. Improved vision is one of those needs each one has forgone, and they will all benefit greatly from the LASIK procedure.

Plumb-Terry's journey through motherhood is both unique and inspiring. Around the birth of her second son, she embarked on a complicated, 18 month process to adopt her daughter Dagmawit from Ethiopia. Her husband Casey attributes her exceptional strength during that time to an unwavering commitment and dedication to their family. "Her determination for her children continues and always will," says Casey. "She has literally gone to the ends of the earth for her children."

As a mother of six, Ayotte is the epitome of altruism. In addition to raising three biological children, she is a foster parent to three more she is in the process of adopting. The remainder of her time is divided between various community service projects and nurturing the bonds of close friendships she has developed. Misty Bingham, Ayotte's sister says, "Mary is the kind of mother we all dream of having and wish we were -- truly selfless, endlessly patient, and unconditionally loving."
