A new internet challenge involving making a bowl of cereal is giving people a taste of what life may soon be like for a North Caldwell boy in danger of losing his sight.

Zachary Root was born deaf, and diagnosed with Usher Syndrome, and vision loss is a symptom.

His family is raising money with the ‘Cereal Challenge’ to hopefully slow things down.

The challenge involves blindfolding yourself to make a bowl of cereal -- a task much harder than you think, and a reality of what Root could face if he loses his sight.

His family, so far, has raised $48,000 toward their $100,000 goal.
