I have experienced such joy and pride in leading the Atlanta VisionWalk for the past five years. I have been surrounded by family and friends as we raised awareness and donations for research. Being a part of the Foundation family has allowed me to make new friendships, hear inspiring stories, and witness the strength and resilience of those in the community with retinal diseases like mine. But, most importantly, the Foundation has given me the promise of hope that one day we will have treatments and cures for all retinal diseases. For that, I’m eternally grateful.
