Since 2006, VisionWalk has raised over $10 million to support the mission of the Foundation Fighting Blindness. Over 47 walks are planned for 2010, including the 5th Annual Chicagoland VisionWalk on Sunday, June 13, 2010.
Over ten million Americans are affected by blinding retinal disease as macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa and Usher Syndrome. Foundation Fighting Blindness is working to find treatments and cures for these devastating diseases. Foundation Fighting Blindness funds leading-edge research in areas such as genetics, gene therapy, transplantation, artificial retinal implants, and pharmaceutical and nutritional therapies.Â
