Chapter Contact

Lauren Meltzer

When my daughter was diagnosed with RP, I was lost and not sure what to do for support. I found in the Baltimore chapter a loving and supportive community. Through the years, I became more involved in helping to spread the word of the good work that the Foundation does and the power that comes when people work together for a common cause. The inspiration that comes from our collective passion keeps all of us moving forward toward finding the cures we are all seeking for blinding diseases.
