  • i want this as my funeral song , fred

    hollows - huge inspiration

  • This is the video that made me a doctor, thank you Fred Hollows.

  • @donkeydicked This video is a moving reflection of a life lived to help other who are so unfortunate that they have spent their entire existance unable to see the world. Fred Hollows was an amazing man who cured blindness for many people and his instatite has cured over 100'000. Unfortunately he passes before he could help you, because it is very evident through your disgusting comment that you are blind to the sight of a man nothing short of a hero.

  • I'm a very emotional person, I think if I had the skills and knowledge to restore sight like that and I did so, I think I'd cry tears of joy knowing I've changed someone's life.

  • He was a vile Homophobe and bigot which diminished anything else he may have done

  • @donkeydicked he's done more in one year than you could hope to do in a lifetime

  • @donkeydicked keyboard warrior much eh? hide ur fucking face behind a computer. face me and we'll see who's a pussy..

  • this guy is a great man

  • Comment removed

  • Doing eye surgery on a person in 3rd world countries is just as important as doin eye sugery on a Prime Minster or King these are VERY POWERFUL AND AMAZING WORDS R.I.P OLD MATE :'(

  • @iiCOLOURZii you are totally right he is a icon and a inspiration

  • I will shine on for everyone :DDDD love it <3

  • the people that have disliked this video are complete idiots. This man made a huge difference in Australia and the world!!!!!

  • this song gives me hope, and makes me want to become a doctor 

  • I'm proud to be an aussie because of Fred

  • song called shine on..

  • what is this song called

  • Wanderfull song, it makes me cry :')

  • crying comes so easily to me but i cant tell whether they're tears of joy or pain.

  • 0:28

    

  • It doesn't matter how many times I watch this,I bawl every single time.

  • who the hell would dislike this video!!!!

  • People always said to me, Whats the point of donating to charity, its not like it does anything, we dont see anything happening. I used to and still do say, the best things in life we cannot see, nor touch. but we can see some thing, how about you donate to the Fred hollows foundation and let somone else see the world outside!

  • if i were a billionair i would donate 100million dollars :)

  • Fuck yeah!

  • Mannnnnnnnn I love this song and video

  • Hi Sally Latham!

  • ;_;

    

  • 8 dislikes because they are f***ing retarded

  • how can u dislike this is beautiful

  • This is one of the most effective ad's i have ever seen. Very moving!

  • Jet - Shine on , great video ty for wonderful post

  • Can someone tell me who sings this song that was used to advertised this FHF advertisement? I want the name of the song and also the singer/Artist.

  • @jkalpram it was jet and the song is called shine on

  • @aladgal Thank you so much, I do appreciate your generous reply! :)

  • Such a great deal of respect for Fred Hollows.. people take for granted what others dont even know exists... take a look around

  • Truly an excellent bloke. That ad is so moving to me every time I watch it. I reckon to be blind then suddenly be fixed by someone of that foundation or the man himself would be one of the greatest things ever.

  • i am crying. Shine on, Fred Hollows.

  • @MissEllie444 [offers shoulder] It's up to us now 8)

  • sutch a remarkable aussie man rest in peace fred D;

  • I have a gift for animals....but i would love to help people i think we can all do our bit by not evan helping people just being kind and happy :)

  • Well if anyone here didn't know what career they wanted before watching this, problem solved! Get a career in helping people :)

  • He was a man who just wanted to help. A man that was so dedicated to making a difference and if he wasn't put on this earth, the world would of never of known of somebody as good as Fred Hollows. We can only thank the reason he was put on this earth. Rest in Peace.

  • i wish he could cure meh

  • one word to describe this man: Hero. "Every eye is an eye, when you are doing surgery, it is just as impotent as if you were to do surgery on the Prime Minster, or the king".

    That phrase will be in my head for the rest of my life.

    He is nothing short of a remarkable man. Job well done.

  • He was such an Inspiration and a hero. Shine on Fred Hollows.

  • Brings a tear to my eye.

  • Omg This Is Sad He Was Such Hero. ): R.I.P

  • Simply a great man.

  • whats this songgg?

    this is gourjeous!

    hes a great person!

  • its "shine on" by jet. was written about their lead singers father dieing, and from his point of view about how he wants them to live their lives adn not grieve for him. very heavy

  • @KellieeJanee The song is SHINE ON by JET, it kinda says in the title

  • Love it. I just love it. and I also love that person below loves that guy saying -"He says he can seequitewell." Fred is a legend. (and i really like that fellow who translates, I wonder what he is doing now.)

  • that image at 1:48 nearly made me crack :p he was such a beatiful soul to give what he did, to truly change the lives of people in need would be the greatest accomplishment so so much more than fast cars and big houses. I hope I can contrbute not just money but skills to humanity one day soon :)

  • i ball my eyes out cranking this, in my words the NO 1 AUSSIE LEGEND makes me proud to be born and bred in SA

  • HE SAID HE CAN SEE QUITE WELL AHHAHAAHAHAHAHa ha AHA HAH HA

  • coming from an artist perspective the gift of sight is so powerful ! something those of us take for granted should be cherished for every second it lasts for those of us who can see RIP FRED HOLLOWS !

  • He was a hero.

  • Its impressive what just a man like Fred can do.

    Thanks to him the world is a better place now. "A great legend"

    RIP

  • He looks like a really lovely person.

  • bringing sight is one of the most beautiful gifts and he done that for a lot of people, wonderful person absolutely wonderful

  • What a great man . Golden heart .

  • If everybody would care at least a bit like he did,the world would be a much better place!

    Whe should see him as an Idol!

    But unfortunately egoism,money and might rules the world today -.-

    People like Fred are real heroes!

  • he is a true Aussie. and a herom he helped people see light when they couldn't and he gave the hope with out false promises. that is enough to make him a hero in my books

  • Yeah that's right! He was a sane and a very helpful guy! All peoples should act like he did and forget their egoism!

  • @2Phipps fred hollows was the reason i became a fireman and a paramedic

    he inspiered me to help others

    rip mate

  • what hppened to him?

  • Hollows died in Sydney in 1993 at the age of 63. The cause of his death was metastatic renal cancer primarily affecting his lungs and brain.

  • dont know why i got bad comments for saying how he passed.

  • @primazzz thats sad :( he died young ! 63 !!!! I'm curious as to how his work benefited people with bad sight, in the respect of how much better those peoples vision became after being touched by such a great fellow..

  • @shitchops Im not to sure how much he improoved their sight but they are able to see the day of life again and i think thats absouletly amazing!

    I hope his cause lives on forever and im quite happy to support it!

  • R.I.P Fred

  • "every eye is an eye, when you are doing the surgery there it is just as important as if your doing eye surgery on the prime minister or the king"
