Spotlight: Foundation Fighting Blindness

I recently saw a commercial for Foundation Fighting Blindness, which funds research specifically on retinal diseases such as achromatopsia, choroideremia, and macular degeneration. (Retinal diseases affect tissue on the back of the eye internally.) I spoke with a woman who has macular degeneration at a writer's guild meeting yesterday. Foundation Fighting Blindness has raised more than 760 million dollars since it was established in 1971. There are four chapters in Florida, including one in Orlando, where its 15th Annual VisionWalk will start at 9:00 A.M. on Sunday, April 19, at Cypress Grove Park. For more information about the Foundation, go to https://www.fightingblindness.org/.
